Acute Pancreatitis: A Rare Complication of Colonoscopy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Colonoscopy is a well-tolerated therapeutic and diagnostic procedure. Although colonoscopy is relatively safe, a few complications have been reported. Abdominal pain after colonoscopy is one of the most reported symptoms, and acute pancreatitis is uncommon after colonoscopy. We present a case of acute pancreatitis in a 51-year-old female who presented with a complaint of melena. She underwent colonoscopy to rule out lower gastrointestinal pathology and developed sudden onset diffuse abdominal pain and vomiting two hours after the procedure. She was diagnosed with colonoscopy-induced acute pancreatitis based on physical examination and detailed investigations after ruling out all other potential causes. She was treated conservatively with bowel rest, intravenous fluids, analgesic, and prophylactic antibiotics. Abdominal symptoms improved quickly in a few days with complete resolution of abdominal pain, fever, and normalization of serum amylase and lipase. Early recognition and diagnosis can lead to successful treatment, and the patients should be informed about the possibility of this complication before undergoing colonoscopy.
