The association between colonic diverticulosis and colorectal polyps in a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between colonic diverticulosis, colorectal polyps, and colorectal cancer. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 648 patients (275 females, 373 males) who underwent complete colonoscopy between January 2016 and June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The presence and localization of diverticula, polyps, and cancer were recorded, and the association between diverticular disease and the formation of polyps and cancer was evaluated.
resultsDiverticula were identified in 53 patients (8.2%), while 595 patients (91.8%) had no diverticula. Polyps were detected in 148 patients (22.8%), and no polyps were found in 500 patients (77.2%). Adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 67 patients (10.3%), with no malignancy observed in 581 patients (89.7%). The mean age of patients with polyps was 59.5 years, compared to 53.3 years in those without polyps (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that diverticulum status did not significantly influence the risk of polyp formation, whereas advanced age was identified as a significant risk factor (p < 0.001).
conclusionAdvanced age is a significant risk factor for colorectal polyp formation, whereas diverticulosis is not an independent risk factor. These findings highlight the importance of age-based screening strategies for colorectal neoplasia.
