Splenic Rupture as a Complication of Colonoscopy.
Article in GE Portuguese journal of gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Splenic rupture is a rare but serious complication after colonoscopy, with high global mortality (5%). Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion because presentation can be subtle, nonspecific, and delayed from hours to days and then not easily attributed to a recent endoscopy. Urgent splenectomy is the most common treatment option. A 73-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department 8 h following a diagnostic colonoscopy. She presented abdominal pain and syncope. The diagnosis of splenic rupture was made and a splenectomy was urgently performed. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful. Splenic rupture is a rare complication of colonoscopy which cannot be underestimated in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain after this procedure. Splenic injuries may occur in apparently uncomplicated, easy colonoscopies performed by experienced endoscopists, with no risk factors identified, as in this case.
