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

Inverted colonic diverticulum (ICD) is an infrequent finding on colonoscopy, often misdiagnosed as colonic polyps. Further endoscopic intervention, such as polypectomy or biopsy, may lead to colonic perforation. For that reason, the endoscopist should be aware of the possibility of detecting these lesions when performing a colonoscopy. Diagnosing an ICD can be confirmed by inspection and gentle eversion using the probe. In this case report, we present a patient who was found to have inverted colonic diverticulum as we highlight the importance of distinguishing it from colonic polyps in order to prevent severe complications.
