Risk factors for patients hospitalized with recurrent colon diverticular bleeding: a single center experience.

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
Background/aims: Colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) is a common cause of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with CDB are at increased risk for recurrence. Here, we aimed to evaluate the clinical course of patients with CDB and identify risk factors for recurrent CDB (rCDB). Methods: We included patients who were hospitalized at a single tertiary center for management of CDB between January 2005 and March 2020. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors of patients with rCDB as follows: model 1 adjusted by age, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and presence of bilateral colon diverticula; model 2 adjusted by age, CCI, and presence of left side colon diverticula; model 3 adjusted by age, CCI, and presence of sigmoid colon diverticula. Results: Among 219 patients (mean age, 68.0 years; 55 females), 56 and 163 had definite and presumptive CDB, respectively. During the median period of 506 days, 62 patients (28.3%) experienced rCDB. CCI score ≥ 4 was independently associated with rCDB in models 1, 2 and 3 (all Conclusion: rCDB frequently occurred at any time in patients with previous CDB. High CCI scores and distribution of colon diverticula were associated with rCDB. Clinicians should consider a possible rCDB for a patient considering age, comorbidity, and distribution of colon diverticula.
