Post-colonoscopy Pseudotumour: A Rare Cause of Post-colonoscopy Acute Abdomen.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
A 41-year-old male, with a change in bowel habits and a positive faecal immunochemical test, underwent a routine colonoscopy without complications. The following day, he presented with an acute abdomen, with raised inflammatory markers and sepsis. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (CTAP) revealed stenosing lesions in the ascending colon and small bowel, with upstream dilatation. In view of the normal colonoscopy, we postulated that this could be due to bleeding into the colonic wall from the biopsies. A follow-up CTAP showed complete resolution of the masses with no further symptoms. Literature suggests that the likely cause was haemorrhage, leading to laminar mural thickening. Conservative management is usually sufficient for such cases. Correlating the clinical presentation, colonoscopy, pathology, and radiology results is important in the management of this rare complication. This case highlights a rare cause of acute abdomen. Awareness of such complications and correlating the various imaging modalities is crucial for patient management and avoiding unnecessary surgery.
