Postcolonoscopy splenic rupture: the under-reporting of an unpropitious phenomena?
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 secondary to colonoscopy is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Given the disparity between the small number of case reports with the incidence reported by some investigators, we contend that the former is not representative of the true extent of this sequela. We present a case report of postcolonoscopy splenic rupture, where the patient had a bizarre initial presentation of chest pain and collapse; and only developed haemodynamic instability and abdominal pain on day 2 postprocedure. Diagnosis was made with a CT scan, and resolution of symptoms was achieved with a splenectomy.
