Age, alcohol, sex, and metabolic factors as risk factors for colonic diverticulosis.

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
backgroundThe pathogenesis of colonic diverticulosis is not well understood. Moreover, only a few studies on colonic diverticulosis have been reported in mainland China.
aimTo evaluate the prevalence of and risk factors for asymptomatic colorectal diverticulosis in Eastern China.
methodsFrom August 2016 to July 2020, 6180 asymptomatic individuals were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. These individuals had undergone physical examinations, laboratory testing, and colonoscopy. Data regarding the baseline characteristics and their general health status were obtained through interviews.
resultsThe prevalence of colonic diverticulosis was 7.3% (449/6180). Colonic diverticulosis was detected predominantly on the right side of the colon (88.4%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that an age ≥ 60 years (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.149, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.511-3.057,
conclusionAdvanced age, male sex, alcohol intake, obesity, and other metabolic-related factors, such as hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperuricemia, were independent risk factors for colonic diverticulosis. Understanding the true prevalence of colonic diverticulosis and its associated risk factors will aid in its prevention and treatment.
