Fourteen-year study of hospital admissions for diverticular disease in Ontario.

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
backgroundDiverticular disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions affecting the Canadian population, yet very little is known about its epidemiology.
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to measure the rate of hospital admission for diverticular disease by age and sex over a 14-year period in the population of Ontario. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe present study was a retrospective, population-based cohort study of all hospital admissions for diverticular disease from 1988 to 2002.
resultsThere were 133,875 hospital admissions during the period. Admission rates increased with age, and women were admitted at higher rates than men across all age groups.
conclusionDiverticular disease is an important cause of gastrointestinal morbidity. As the population ages, a rise in the incidence of diverticular disease can be anticipated. Future studies to explain sex difference in admissions are required.
