Evaluation and management of symptomatic duodenal diverticula: a single-center retrospective analysis of 647 patients.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aims: To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with symptomatic duodenal diverticula and to generalize how to make appropriate treatment choices for this group of patients. Materials and methods: From January 2010 to September 2020, a total of 647 patients with duodenal diverticula (DD) were included in this study. 345 of them with relevant symptoms were divided into the symptomatic group and the other 302 patients were in the asymptomatic group. Results: Among all patients, most DD were located in the periampullary area, <1 cm in size, and single in number. The distribution of DD localized in the 2nd portion/periampullary ( Conclusions: Patients with DD ≥1 cm or located in the periampullary were more likely to be symptomatic. The specific size of the DD and the combination of specific biliary comorbidities may have an impact on the choice of treatment modality.
