Perforated Duodenal Diverticulitis: A Case Report of a Rare Surgical Entity Treated by Roux-en-Y Deriving Intestinal Patch.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Perforated diverticulitis is a rare but serious complication associated with a significant mortality rate. Although many cases of conservative treatment have been reported, surgery remains the mainstay for perforated duodenal diverticulitis. We report a rare case of a 55-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain without fever. Computed tomography revealed a 3 cm perforated duodenal diverticulum of the D2 part of the duodenum with a localized abscess. After the failure of conservative treatment, we performed a deriving intestinal patch completed by cholecystectomy and biliary decompression via a transcystic drain, as well as feeding jejunostomy. The patient was discharged on day 32. Removal of the transcystic drainage at eight weeks postoperatively was complicated by the appearance of an iatrogenic bilioperitoneum, which was effectively treated with percutaneous drainage. Surgery remains challenging; our experience suggests that perforation covering with a deriving jejunal patch offers an alternative to direct beach suturing when the latter is deemed precarious. Part of the treatment success lies in local drainage and duodenal exclusion that can be achieved by various surgical approaches.
