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
Stenosis is a rare complication of acute diverticulitis, difficult to differentiate from colon cancer. We present a 63-year-old woman with right lumbar pain radiating to the back. A sigmoid stenosis was detected by magnetic resonance imaging. Three biopsies were performed, all of which were negative for malignancy. From CT images with data of circumferentially thickened intestinal wall along 6 cm, stenosing the lumen enlarged regional lymph nodes. A sigmoid resection was performed and the results of histological examination showed complicated diverticulitis of the large intestine with exacerbation, abscending and spread of the inflammatory process with involvement of the pericolic tissues. Given the high risk of developing a malignant process in patients with acute diverticulitis and the slightest doubt should be followed by surgical treatment.
