The Hidden Diverticula: A Case Report on Appendiceal Diverticulosis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Diverticulosis of the appendix (DA) is a rare condition, often asymptomatic and incidentally discovered, with a significant association with neoplasia. The prevalence of neoplasia in specimens without DA versus those with DA was 1.28% and 26.94%, respectively. Here, we discuss a case of a 54-year-old male presented with left flank pain and dysuria. Examination showed left renal angle tenderness and leukocytosis. CT scan revealed a left ureteric stone and an enlarged appendix. The urology team placed a double-J catheter, and surgical consultation led to an appendectomy. Histopathology confirmed DA with acute inflammation, serositis, and fibroblast proliferation without malignancy. This case underscores the need to consider DA in differential diagnoses and the importance of thorough histopathological examination and timely surgical intervention.
