Acute appendiceal diverticulitis: a case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
Acute appendiceal diverticulitis is a difficult prospective diagnosis due to both its rarity and clinical overlap with other ileocecal diseases, such as acute appendicitis. Few preoperative radiological images of acute appendiceal diverticulitis have been presented in the literature. We report a case of acute appendiceal diverticulitis initially diagnosed with outpatient ultrasound and confirmed with contrast-enhanced computed tomography in an 85-year-old male who presented with right lower quadrant pain. Appendiceal diverticulitis is an often overlooked diagnosis, and given its association with appendiceal neoplasms and relatively high rate of perforation, it is important to consider this entity in patients with right lower quadrant pain in order to ensure that they are managed appropriately. The addition of high quality ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) images to the literature may heighten awareness of this rare condition and facilitate accurate preoperative diagnosis and management in these patients.
