Colonic Diverticulitis Complicated by Stenosis Causing Bowel Obstruction.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Colonic diverticulitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases. There are several complications in colonic diverticulitis, such as stenosis, perforation, and abscess. Stenosis is a rare complication and can cause bowel obstruction. We report a case of colonic diverticulitis complicated by stenosis causing bowel obstruction. A 66-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital for abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed the presence of diverticula, concentric wall thickening, and pericolic fat stranding in the descending colon. He was diagnosed with descending colon diverticulitis. His abdominal pain improved with fasting and intravenous antibiotics. However, after three months, diverticulitis complicated by stenosis occurred in the descending colon. The stenosis was severe and was treated with left hemicolectomy. Histologic examination revealed diverticula, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis in the stenosis, with no malignancy. Stenosis caused by colonic diverticulitis can cause bowel obstruction. Conservative treatment may lead to recurrence, and surgical treatment is preferable.
