Acute Ileal Diverticulitis: Computed Tomography and Ultrasound Findings.

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
backgroundAcute ileal diverticulitis is a rare disease mimicking acute appendicitis. Inaccurate diagnosis with a low prevalence and nonspecific symptoms leads to delayed or improper management.
methodsThis retrospective study aimed to investigate the characteristic sonographic (US) and computed tomography (CT) findings with clinical features in seventeen patients with acute ileal diverticulitis diagnosed between March 2002 and August 2017.
resultsThe most common symptom was abdominal pain (82.3%, 14/17) localized to the right lower quadrant (RLQ) in 14 patients. The characteristic CT findings of acute ileal diverticulitis were ileal wall thickening (100%, 17/17), identification of inflamed diverticulum at the mesenteric side (94.1%, 16/17), and surrounding mesenteric fat infiltration (100%, 17/17). The typical US findings were outpouching diverticular sac connecting to the ileum (100%, 17/17), peridiverticular inflamed fat (100%, 17/17), ileal wall thickening with preserved layering pattern (94.1%, 16/17), and increased color flow to the diverticulum and surrounding inflamed fat on color Doppler imaging (100%, 17/17). The perforation group had a significantly longer hospital stay than non-perforation group (
