Meckel's diverticulitis in a COVID-19 adult.

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
Meckel's diverticulitis is an unusual cause of acute abdomen condition in adults requiring prompt surgical treatment. We report a case of a 53-year-old male with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), admitted to the emergency department with an acute abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan with intravenous contrast performed on the patient confirmed an inflamed short segment of the small bowel and the presence of a localized free peritoneal fluid. The definitive diagnosis was made intraoperatively, by means of an emergent ileal resection with primary anastomosis, which confirmed Meckel's diverticulitis. Postoperative evolution was ordinary. The association of COVID-19 with the acute abdomen is found to be weak, therefore surgical consultation is advised to minimize delayed treatment.
