Boerhaave's Syndrome Post-colonoscopy: When Emesis Conceals an Emergency.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Boerhaave syndrome, a rare yet life-threatening spontaneous esophageal rupture, is classically associated with forceful emesis. We present a case of a 48-year-old male with no prior esophageal pathology who developed vomiting, epigastric pain and dyspnea after undergoing an elective colonoscopy. Notably, the patient had experienced emesis following alcohol consumption the day prior to the colonoscopy procedure but did not disclose this history during the pre-procedural assessment. Initial assessments misattributed his symptoms to sedation-related nausea and post-procedural ileus, thereby delaying critical diagnostic imaging. The computed tomography (CT) combined with esophagography revealed pneumomediastinum and a 1.5 cm distal esophageal tear. Surgical pleural decortication was performed. The patient recovered after four weeks of multidisciplinary care.
