Trends in Hospitalization for Diverticulitis and Diverticular Bleeding in the United States From 2000 to 2010.
Article in Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 87 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND &
aimsMost studies of trends in diverticular disease have focused on diverticulitis or on a composite outcome of diverticulitis and bleeding. We aimed to quantify and compare the prevalence of hospitalization for diverticular bleeding and diverticulitis overall and by sex and race.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2000 through 2010. We identified adult patients with a discharge diagnosis of diverticular bleeding or diverticulitis. By using yearly US intercensal data, we calculated age-, sex-, and race-specific rates, as well as age-adjusted prevalence rates.
resultsThe prevalence of hospitalizations per 100,000 persons for diverticular bleeding decreased over the 10-year period from 32.5 to 27.1 (-5.4; 95% confidence interval, -5.1 to -5.7). The prevalence of hospitalizations for diverticulitis peaked in 2008 (74.1/100,000 in 2000, 96.0/100,000 in 2008, and 91.9/100,000 in 2010). The prevalence of diverticulitis was higher in women than in men, whereas women and men had similar rates of diverticular bleeding. The prevalence of diverticular bleeding was highest in blacks (34.4/100,000 in 2010); whereas the prevalence of diverticulitis was highest in whites (75.5/100,000 in 2010).
conclusionsOver the past 10 years, the prevalence of hospitalizations for diverticulitis increased and then plateaued, whereas that of diverticular bleeding decreased. The prevalence according to sex and race differed for diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding. These findings indicate different mechanisms of pathogenesis for these disorders.
