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

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It presents most frequently in patients under two years of age and more rarely in later adulthood. Complications of Meckel's diverticulum are even less common and can be difficult to distinguish from other more common abdominal pathologies due to nonspecific signs and symptoms. As a result, less common disease presentations, such as Meckel's diverticulitis with perforation, can be difficult to diagnose preoperatively, especially in the adult population. We discuss a case of a patient who presented with symptoms of acute appendicitis, which was later revealed to be Meckel's diverticulum complicated by Meckel's diverticulitis with localized perforation.
