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

introduction and importanceIn most diverticulitis of Meckel's Diverticulum (MD), perforation, obstruction and hemorrhage causing acute abdomen are seen, however, multiple inflammatory polyps(IPs) are rare, which are seen in our case. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of 28-year-old female, who was admitted in the clinic for intermittent abdominal pain for 5 years. Histopathology suggested MD chronic diverticulitis and multiple inflammatory polyps. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Our patient presented was diagnosed preoperatively with suspected MD, and an laparoscopy was indicated. Intraoperatively, a huge MD with multiple IPs was found and treated by surgical excision and the specimens were sent for histopathological analysis. Histopathology revealed MD's diverticulitis with IPs containing ectopic gastric mucosa. The patient had successful recovery.

conclusionMeckel's diverticulitis is a rare cause of multiple IPs. This case can remind physicians that IPs caused by Meckel's diverticulum should be considered in differential diagnosis of adults presenting with the isolated symptom of chronic abdominal pain.
