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

In this article, we describe four unusual variations of diverticulitis: nonsigmoid colonic diverticulitis, giant colonic diverticulum, segmental colitis associated with diverticulosis, and small bowel diverticulitis. We discuss the epidemiology, presentation, and treatment of these types and how they differ from the presentation of typical sigmoid diverticulitis. We also review unusual presentations of typical sigmoid diverticulitis, including hematogenous liver abscess, necrotizing soft-tissue infection, and genitourinary fistula. Diverticulitis is a heterogeneous disease, and understanding the range of its presentations will facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.
