Splenic Injury: A Curious Complication of Colonoscopy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Colonoscopies are generally considered a safe procedure with an overall complication rate of 0.5%. Splenic injuries, including laceration, subcapsular hematoma, and rupture, have been thought to be underreported in the currently available literature. The etiology of splenic injury remains unknown, although excessive splenocolic ligament stretching and traction of adhesions have been hypothesized to play a role in its development. Even though conservative, percutaneous, and surgical strategies have been described in the literature, these strategies have been associated with higher mortality, and there is no consensus on the optimal approach to management. We present the case of a patient who sustained a splenic injury after a colonoscopy and was successfully managed with conservative measures.
