1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The acute left diverticulitis is a common problem encountered by surgeons in the acute setting. Some years ago, the Italian Prospective Observational Diverticulitis (IPOD) study showed several disputes in managing acute left colon diverticulitis in Italian surgical department. The aim of this study is to check the compliance of Italian surgeons with clinical evidence-based guidelines in non-university hospitals. A 21 multiple-choice questions survey was sent to the Italian Society of Hospital Surgeons (ACOI) mailing list members, from the 1st April 2019 to 6th June 2019. One hundred and seventy-four Italian general surgeons (the ACOI collaborative diverticulitis group) joined the project and answered to the survey. The response rate was 7% (174/2500 ACOI members). Despite current international guidelines about the management of acute diverticulitis, several controversies have emerged from the analysis of this survey in the clinical practice of Italian surgeons, resulting from their low compliance with evidence-based recommendations.
