Perforated diverticulitis in the North of England: trends in patient outcomes, management approach and the influence of subspecialisation.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introductionIn recent years, several management options have been used in the management of perforated diverticulitis, ranging from conservative treatment to laparotomy. General surgery has also become increasingly specialised over time. This retrospective cohort study investigated changes in patient outcomes following perforated diverticulitis, management approach and the influence of consultant subspecialisation over time. MATERIALS AND
methodsData was collected on patients admitted with perforated diverticulitis in the North of England between 2002 and 2016. Subspecialisation was categorised as colorectal or other general subspecialties. The primary outcome of interest was overall 30-day mortality; secondary outcomes included surgical approach, stoma and anastomosis rate.
resultsA total of 3394 cases of perforated diverticulitis were analysed (colorectal,
conclusionThis study demonstrated considerable improvements in the management of perforated diverticulitis alongside the positive impact of subspecialisation on patient outcomes.
