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

backgroundDiverticular disease frequently leads to emergency admissions. Clinical parameters are not sufficiently accurate to determine the extent of acute colonic diverticulitis, thus a quick, reproducible and valid diagnostic imaging procedure is required.

objectiveIn the following, the imaging methods commonly used for the diagnostic work-up and staging of diverticulitis are presented and classified in the context of the data situation and clinical reality.

resultsMultidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the current diagnostic gold standard for the imaging evaluation of diverticulitis and the basis for guideline-conform treatment decisions according to the classification of diverticular disease (CDD). DISCUSSION: The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of diverticulitis will have to be investigated but a more profound integration of this method can already be predicted. Point-of-care ultrasound for initial diagnosis and follow-up assessment will become more important, analogous to FAST in trauma patients.
