A Case of Iatrogenic Splenic Injury Following Routine Colonoscopy With Possible Influence of Unique Anatomy Due to Severe Scoliosis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Iatrogenic splenic injury is a rare complication of all abdominal surgeries. Despite the procedure's overall safety, colonoscopy is now the procedure most frequently associated with iatrogenic splenic injury. A 58-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, lung cancer in remission, colon polyps, and severe scoliosis presented for grade three splenic laceration two days following a routine colonoscopy. He had no recent history of injury or other inciting events that could have led to traumatic injury. Non-operative management included splenic artery embolization and transfusion of one unit of packed red blood cells, after which he improved in the hospital and was discharged home in stable condition. This case postulates the possible influence of his severe scoliosis, and thus altered abdominal viscera anatomy, on his iatrogenic splenic injury, as well as the potential importance of investigating scoliosis as a risk factor for difficult colonoscopy or even iatrogenic splenic injury during colonoscopy.
