Evidence-based treatment strategies for acute diverticulitis.
Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07322926 (Is It So Hard To Predict Complicated Diverticulitis?), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
purposeDiverticular disease is a common acquired condition of the lower gastrointestinal tract that may be associated with significant morbidity. The term encompasses a spectrum of pathological processes with varying clinical manifestations. The purpose of this review was to update the reader on modern evidence-based treatment strategies for acute diverticulitis.
methodsA literature search of the PUBMED database was performed using the keywords 'diverticulosis', 'diverticular disease' and 'diverticulitis'. Only articles published in the English language were included.
resultsEvidence-based treatment strategies for acute diverticulitis have evolved over time. Data have questioned the need for antibiotic therapy for Hinchey I disease and the role of percutaneous abscess drainage for Hinchey II. Clinical trials have demonstrated laparoscopic lavage is an appropriate option for select patients with Hinchey III disease and primary resection with anastomosis and defunctioning stoma may be considered in some cases of Hinchey IV disease.
conclusionRisk-adapted treatment strategies and operative decision-making for acute diverticulitis are increasingly based on a combination of patient and disease factors.
