Challenging Surgical Dogma: Controversies in Diverticulitis.
Review in The Surgical clinics of North America, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon is common in the developed world, affecting approximately 33% of persons older than 60 years. Up to 15% of these patients will develop diverticulitis at some point in their lifetime. The incidence of diverticulitis has increased in the last decade, accounting for nearly 300,000 US hospital admissions and $1.8 billion in annual direct medical costs. With such a wide prevalence and diverse spectrum of clinical presentation, there are bound to be multiple controversies regarding disease management. This article will serve to educate the reader on several important areas to consider when treating this ubiquitous disease.
