Right-Sided Diverticulitis Requiring Colectomy: an Evolving Demographic? A Review of Surgical Outcomes from the National Inpatient Sample Database.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionThere remains a paucity of recent data on right-sided colonic diverticulitis, especially those undergoing colectomy. We sought to describe the clinical features of patients undergoing both a laparoscopic and open surgery for right-sided diverticulitis.
methodsThis study is a review of all cases of a right colectomy or ileocecectomy for diverticulitis from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2006 to 2012. Demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes were identified for all cases. A comparative analysis of a laparoscopic versus open approach was performed.
resultsWe identified 2233 admissions (laparoscopic = 592; open = 1641) in the NIS database. The majority of cases were Caucasian (67 %), with 6 % of NIS cases identified as Asian/Pacific Islander. The overall morbidity and in-hospital mortality rates were 24 and 2.7 %, respectively. The conversion rate from a laparoscopic to open procedure was 34 %. Postoperative complications were greater in the open versus laparoscopic cohorts (25 vs. 19 %, p < 0.01), with pulmonary complications as the highest (7.0 vs. 1.7 %; p < 0.01).
conclusionThis investigation represents one of the largest cohorts of colon resections to treat right-sided diverticulitis in the USA. In this series, right-sided diverticulitis undergoing surgery occurred most commonly in the Caucasian population and is most often approached via an open surgical technique; however, laparoscopy is a safe and feasible option.
