Colorectal perforation following anorectal manometry in a patient with anal stenosis post rectal prolapse repair: a rare complication.

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
Anorectal manometry (ARM) is a valuable diagnostic modality for evaluating anorectal disorders. While rare, complications can occur including rectal perforation. We report a case of iatrogenic rectal perforation following ARM in a 77-year-old female with multiple prior rectal prolapse surgeries who was receiving chronic anticoagulation therapy. The patient developed rectal bleeding immediately post-procedure with subsequent imaging demonstrating retroperitoneal and mediastinal air. Flexible sigmoidoscopy revealed a 30% circumference rectal wall defect. Despite the extensive injury, the patient was hemodynamically stable without peritonitis. Conservative management consisting of bowel rest, broad-spectrum antibiotics resulted in complete resolution. Serial endoscopic evaluation confirmed full mucosal healing. This case demonstrates the importance of individualized procedural risk assessment in patients with prior anorectal surgery and underscores the feasibility of conservative management in stable cases of ARM-related rectal perforation.
