1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Diverticulitis is a very common cause of hospitalization in the United States with fistula formation being a common complication. However, a fistula formation between the sigmoid colon and an ovary is an exceptional rarity. We present a case of a 22-year-old female with a colo-ovarian fistula misdiagnosed as a tubo-ovarian abscess after a recent episode of diverticulitis. Initial workup, imaging studies, and treatment ending with Hartmann's procedure with eventual colostomy reversal are described. A review of similar cases within the literature and fistulas is also presented.
