Colonic Diverticulosis. Is there a Genetic Component?
Article in Maedica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 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
Diverticular disease is a common condition among the elderly, with a steady increase in prevalence over time. Also, it has a temporal, geographic, and ethnic variation in incidence and prevalence, the genetic component having only recently been studied. For many years, environmental factors were the main link to the etiology. Recent studies estimated the heritability in this disease and identified genetic variants associated with diverticulosis. The interaction between structural changes of the colonic wall, diet, lifestyle, and genetic factors results in the development of diverticular disease. The purpose of this article is to review the existing data about genetic influence in this disease.
