Conservative treatment of uncomplicated right-sided diverticulitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis 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 NCT06153030 (Unexpected Diagnosis in Right Lower Quadrant Pain), which is not on this map. 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.

Abstract
purposeRight-sided diverticulitis has different epidemiologic features compared to left-sided diverticulitis. However, data on the appropriate treatment of right-sided diverticulitis are lacking. This systematic review aimed to examine the outcomes of conservative treatment for uncomplicated right-sided diverticulitis.
methodsMEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles published from January 1, 1990, to May 31, 2020. A total of 21 studies were included in the systematic review. We calculated proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the outcomes of individual studies and pooled the results using a random effects model.
resultsA total of 2811 patients (59.1% men; mean and median age, 37-54 years) with right-sided diverticulitis were included. The pooled rate of treatment failure was 2.5% (95% CI 1.2-4.3%; p <0.01; I
conclusionsConservative treatment of uncomplicated right-sided diverticulitis results in a low rate of recurrence and complicated diverticulitis at recurrence. Based on these results, unnecessary surgery may be avoided and a new treatment paradigm for uncomplicated right-sided diverticulitis may be introduced.
