Giant pedunculated lipoma of the colon causing colo-colic intussusception in a young adult woman: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Colonic lipomas are uncommon benign submucosal tumours that are usually asymptomatic, but large lesions may act as a lead point for intussusception. We report a 36-year-old woman admitted with 2 days of epigastric pain and vomiting. Inflammatory markers were mildly raised and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a colo-colic intussusception of the transverse colon with an endoluminal fat-density mass as the lead point, without proximal distension. Because of the risk of bowel ischaemia she underwent urgent laparotomy; the intussusception reduced spontaneously and a right hemicolectomy with ileocolic anastomosis was performed. Recovery was uneventful and she was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Histopathology confirmed a benign pedunculated lipoma (5.5 cm) with surface ulceration and no malignancy. Set against the published literature, this case shows that colonic lipoma should be considered in adult intussusception and that resection is both diagnostic and curative.
