The medical and nonoperative treatment of diverticulitis.

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
The success of medical management for diverticular disease depends on the patient's presentation and degree of response to treatment. The patient's presentation can be grouped into categories using classification systems such as the modified Hinchey system. Clinical presentation and diagnostic studies help to group patients. Mild disease can often be managed with oral antibiotics as an outpatient; more severe disease requires hospitalization, bowel rest, and intravenous antibiotics. Interventions such as percutaneous drainage of associated abscesses may allow successful medical management. Probiotics and antiinflammatories may have a supportive role. Indications for elective resections are discussed.
