Large Bowel Obstruction following Endoscopic Spray Cryotherapy for Palliation of Rectal Cancer Bleeding.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We report a unique case of a 79-year-old woman with metastatic rectal cancer who developed bowel obstruction following endoscopic cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen for palliation of bleeding in the rectum. She developed abdominal distention and pain following the procedure. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a paraumbilical hernia containing a segment of transverse colon resulting in partial bowel obstruction. It appears that the recurrent freeze-thaw cycles with poor decompression of the colon despite active venting suction during cryotherapy may have resulted in bowel distention and collapse, causing conformational changes resulting in partial bowel obstruction due to a paraumbilical hernia.
