Association between diverticular disease requiring surgical intervention and mortality in the postlung transplant population - a retrospective cohort study.

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
Lung Transplant recipients are at increased risk of complicated diverticular disease. We aim to assess the rate of diverticular surgery in a postlung transplantation population and identify risk factors for surgery. We performed a retrospective cohort study of lung transplant recipients from 2007 to 2011. Demographic variables were evaluated with the Mann-Whitney U and chi-squared tests. Cox regression was performed to evaluate 1- and 2-year landmark survival, assess predictor variables of diverticular surgery and evaluate impact of surgery on CLAD development. Of 17 of 158 patients (10.7%) underwent diverticular-related surgery. Surgical patients had significantly worse survival than nonsurgical patients at 1 year [aHR 2.93 (1.05-8.21), P = 0.041] and 2 year [aHR 4.17 (1.26-13.84), P = 0.020] landmark analyses. Transplant indication of alpha-1 antitrypsin disease and cystic fibrosis were significantly associated with the need for diverticular surgery. Emergent surgery was associated with poorer survival [aHR 5.12(1.00-26.27), P = 0.050]. Lung transplant patients requiring surgery for complicated diverticular disease have significantly poorer survival than those who do not require surgery. Surgery was more common in patients transplanted for A1AT and CF. Optimal assessment and risk stratification of diverticular disease is necessary to prevent excessive morbidity and mortality following transplantation.
