1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Multiple diverticulosis of the jejunum represents a very rare entity. Jejunal diverticula are found to be the rarest of all small bowel diverticula. The disease is usually asymptomatic and often becomes clinically relevant when complicated. This rarity makes it a difficult differential diagnosis. Related complications such as diverticulitis, perforation, and bleeding and/or intestinal obstruction appear in about 10-30% of the patients which increase the morbidity and mortality rates in such individuals. Here, we present a case of jejunal diverticulosis with perforation who presented with symptoms of acute abdominal pain, vomiting and fever along with a brief review of literature.
