Acute Jejunal Diverticulitis With Abscess Formation Complicated by Perforation: A Case Report.
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
Jejunal diverticulum perforation is a rare condition and presents diagnostic challenges. A 41-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a history of vague, generalized, and continuous abdominal pain for two days. He was vitally stable; however, the abdominal examination revealed a soft and distended abdomen with positive rebound tenderness. A computed tomography scan with contrast showed signs of a perforated proximal jejunal segment, along with adjacent pneumoperitoneum and a small fluid collection. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, which was converted to a midline laparotomy for further exploration of the small bowel. An 8-cm jejunal diverticulum with micro-perforation and abscess was identified during the procedure. The pathological diagnosis confirmed acute diverticulitis with abscess formation, and malignancy was ruled out. The patient remained stable throughout his postoperative recovery and was discharged on the sixth postoperative day.
