Caecal perforation from CT colonography: an unexpected complication.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. 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
Computer tomography colonography (CTC) is an increasingly utilized diagnostic modality in Australia. CTC aims to image the entire colon, and is often used in higher risk patient populations. Colonic perforation following CTC is a rare complication, with only 0.008% of patients undergoing CTC requiring surgical intervention. Most published cases of perforation following CTC are due to identifiable causes, often involving the left colon or rectum. We present a rare case of caecal perforation following CTC, requiring right hemicolectomy. This report highlights the need for high suspicion for CTC complications, despite their rarity, and the utility of diagnostic laparoscopy for diagnosis in atypical presentations.
