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

Colonic perforation is an uncommon but serious complication of colonoscopy, which can be extraperitoneal, intraperitoneal, or a combination of both. We present a case of combined colonic perforation in a young woman with ileocecal tuberculosis who experienced colicky pain in the right iliac fossa. She underwent an emergency right hemicolectomy, with no signs of peritonitis observed during surgery. Postoperatively, she was started on antituberculosis therapy and is currently doing well. This case is notable because a thorough review of recent literature identified only three reported instances of post-colonoscopy retroperitoneal cecal perforation.
