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 common procedure for screening of colon cancer. Although complications are rare, recently there have been reports of splenic injury associated with colonoscopy. Its causes are not clear. Herein, we report an 84-year-old man who underwent a colonoscopy for an annual routine examination. The colonoscopy was performed with moderate difficulty due to loop formation and took about 50 min. After the examination, he developed syncope, sweating, and abdominal distention with low blood pressure. Plain computed tomography revealed ascites, and the patient was hospitalized with close monitoring. The following day, his hemoglobin level was decreased by about 3.0 g/dL. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the splenic injury. The patient was hemodynamically stable and was treated conservatively. Splenic injury is an uncommon complication of colonoscopy; however, it may cause hemodynamic instability. Physicians performing colonoscopies should be aware of this potential complication.
