Non-surgical Management of Colon Perforation Due to Recurrence of Colon Cancer With Extraluminal Feces in a Patient With Massive Peritoneal Adhesions.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Colon perforation with fecal peritonitis is usually fatal without prompt surgical intervention. We report the case of an 89-year-old woman with colon perforation and extraluminal feces who survived for 174 days without surgery in the presence of extensive postoperative peritoneal adhesions. The patient had previously undergone two abdominal surgeries for colorectal cancer, resulting in severe intra-abdominal adhesions. Despite radiological evidence of intraperitoneal free air and extraluminal feces, she was managed conservatively with antibiotics, morphine hydrochloride, supportive care, and close monitoring. This case suggests that, in carefully selected patients with marked peritoneal adhesions, non-operative management may warrant reconsideration as a potential therapeutic option for colon perforation before deeming that the condition is inoperable.
