Ectopic pancreas as a lead point for intussusception: case report and review of literature.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
Introduction: Intussusception due to a pathological lead point is uncommon in children, usually occurring in cases with atypical presentation, recurrence, or failed nonoperative reduction. We report the case of a boy with intussusception due to a heterotopic pancreas. Case presentation: We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody stools. Ultrasonography demonstrated findings consistent with intussusception. After unsuccessful pneumatic reduction under fluoroscopic guidance, we performed an exploratory laparotomy. Manual reduction revealed a 1 × 1 × 1 cm pathologic lead point in the ileum, requiring segmental bowel resection. Histopathologic examination confirmed subserosal ectopic pancreatic tissue. Clinical discussion: Heterotopic pancreas is rarely found in the ileum. When present in the distal bowel, it may rarely serve as a pathological lead point for intussusception. Conclusion: Ectopic pancreatic tissue is an extremely rare cause of a pathological lead point in pediatric intussusception. Clinicians should consider an underlying lesion in intussusception patients with atypical presentation, recurrence, or unsuccessful nonoperative reduction, as surgical management allows for both definitive treatment and histopathological diagnosis.
