Seasonal Variations and Factors that Influence Diverticular Bleeding in the United States of America.
Article in Journal of research in health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSeasonal variation in hospitalizations for diverticulitis has a sinusoidal pattern, peaking in summer. Little is known about seasonal, regional trends, and risk factors associated with hospital admissions regarding diverticular bleeding in the United States. STUDY
designCross-sectional population database review using the healthcare cost and utilization project's national inpatient sample.
methodsPatients that had diagnoses of diverticulitis with bleeding or diverticulosis with bleeding admitted from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2017, were identified and stratified by month and season. Then, the potential effects of region, age, gender, race, and patient risk factors on seasonal admissions for diverticular bleeding were explored, and data were analyzed in SAS and presented in Excel using chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis for categorical and continuous variables, respectively.
resultsOf the 54191 hospitalized cases for diverticular bleeding, the peak and the lowest seasons were spring and summer (25.5% vs. 24.2%,
conclusionA better understanding of these seasonal and regional trends may provide a mechanism to identify a potential trigger for diverticular bleeding events. This helps identify individuals at greatest risk for hospitalization, as well as prepare hospitals to allocate supplies appropriately during the seasons.
