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

backgroundTerminal ileum diverticulitis is a rare clinical disease. It can frequently mimic other processes, such as acute appendicitis. Diagnosis and therapeutic decision making (surgical or conservative treatment) can be complex. We report four interesting cases of terminal ileum diverticulitis.

conclusionsAll four cases had right lower quadrant pain. Three cases were diagnosed by CT, whereas one was diagnosed by abscess drainage. Two cases required surgical treatment within 3 days, one within about 1 month, and one case did not require surgery. The decision of whether to manage a patient surgically or conservatively is difficult. It is critical not to delay the decision of performing a surgical treatment until each patient reaches a stable general condition.
