Splenic Rupture: A Delayed and Rare Complication of Colonoscopy.
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
Splenic rupture is an extremely rare but significant complication of colonoscopy with a high mortality rate. Most patients present within 24 to 48 hours post-procedure with abdominal pain, hypotension, and/or syncope. This case report highlights the rare case of a patient presenting nine days post-procedure with splenic rupture. This case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for splenic rupture for up to two weeks after colonoscopy, as a delay in diagnosis can cause rapid clinical deterioration and death. Early diagnosis of splenic rupture can be achieved with CT of the abdomen, which remains the gold standard. Patients should also be made aware of this potentially delayed complication and be advised to monitor for significant abdominal pain for up to two weeks after colonoscopy to ensure prompt management.
