Splenic Hematoma With Hemoperitoneum Following a Routine Colonoscopy: A Rare Post-procedural Complication.
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
Though rare, a perisplenic hematoma is a potentially life-threatening complication of colonoscopies that is important to identify in patients presenting with abdominal pain following the procedure. In our case, a 62-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain, tachycardia, and new anemia following a routine colonoscopy. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large perisplenic hematoma with small-to-moderate hemoperitoneum. Injury to the spleen during a colonoscopy may occur due to multiple mechanisms, including adhesions, traction of attached ligaments, and direct trauma. Management of splenic injury can include conservative management, splenic artery embolization, and splenectomy. In the case of our patient, given the absence of ongoing bleeding, she was admitted to the general surgery service and monitored with serial abdominal exams and hemoglobin checks. After her initial resuscitation with blood products, she remained hemodynamically stable and was discharged from the hospital in a stable condition.
