Management of right colonic uncomplicated diverticulitis: outpatient versus inpatient management.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03496090 (Randomized Multicentric Controlled Clinical Trial of Parallel Groups to Evaluate the Non-therapeutic Inferiority of a Free Diet With a Progressive Diet, in the Treatment of Non-complicated Acute Diverticulitis), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundInitial conservative management may be the mainstay of therapy for uncomplicated right colonic diverticulitis. However, definitive treatment guidelines have not yet been established. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of outpatient management versus inpatient management for preventing recurrence of this condition.
methodsBetween 2007 and 2009, a total of 103 patients were consecutively enrolled at the first attack of uncomplicated right colonic diverticulitis. In this prospective observational study, 40 patients underwent an outpatient management regimen consisting of oral antibiotics (for 4 days), and 63 patients underwent an inpatient management regimen that included bowel rest and intravenous antibiotics (for 7-10 days). The treatment was selected by the patient. Failure to respond to therapy and the incidence of recurrence of this condition were assessed.
resultsBoth groups of patients were treated successfully, and their symptoms were relieved. The patients were followed up for a median time of 21 months. Of the 40 patients with short-term oral antibiotic therapy on an outpatient basis, disease recurrence was observed in 4 patients (10%). Of these four patients, one underwent surgery and the remaining three were treated nonoperatively. Of the 63 patients on inpatient management, recurrence was observed in 7 patients (11%). Of these seven patients, one underwent surgery and the remaining six were treated nonoperatively.
conclusionsOutpatient management with short-term oral antibiotic therapy for the treatment of uncomplicated right colonic diverticulitis is as effective as inpatient management in regard to preventing disease recurrence.
