1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 used worldwide for screening colon cancer. Routine colonoscopy is considered a safe procedure with relatively fewer adverse events. We present a case of intracolonic and retroperitoneal hematoma following a routine colonoscopy. This case highlights an uncommon life-threatening complication of a common procedure. A 50-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and syncopal episode following an uneventful screening colonoscopy. CT abdomen revealed intracolonic and retroperitoneal hematoma. This eventually led to exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy after failure of conservative management. Clinicians need to be aware of the potentially life-threatening complications associated with colonoscopy for overall safety of colonoscopy.
