Colovesical Fistula Complicating the First Symptomatic Episode of Acute Diverticulitis in a Young Adult.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Colovesical fistula is one of the known complications of acute diverticulitis. However, it is uncommon for a patient to present with a colovesical fistula without prior episodes of diverticulitis. In this case, we report a patient with acute diverticulitis presenting with a colovesical fistula with no antecedent history of any medical condition. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and subsequently had a temporary laparoscopic colostomy. Although colovesical fistula caused by diverticular disease was once considered a relative contraindication to laparoscopic resection, this method is now being increasingly employed by experienced surgeons. Compared with laparoscopic colon resection surgery for uncomplicated diverticulitis, the minimally invasive treatment of colovesical fistula requires a longer operative time and advanced surgical skills.
