Coexistence of Acute Appendicitis and Sigmoid Diverticulitis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in acute diverticulitis cases, attributed to modern lifestyles and improved diagnostic techniques. We present a rare case of concurrent acute appendicitis and diverticulitis in a 35-year-old male who came to the emergency department with abdominal pain. While appendicitis typically requires surgery, diverticulitis is often managed conservatively. Computed tomography is key in diagnosis and decision-making. Despite their differing treatments, cases like this challenge the perception of their rarity. This case prompts consideration of multifocal abdominal pathology. Recognizing concurrent appendicitis and diverticulitis is crucial for guiding appropriate diagnostic and treatment strategies, potentially including non-operative management in select cases.
