Jejunal diverticulosis: complications and management - a case series.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 diverticulosis (JD) is rare (incidence of 0.5%-6%), more common in the elderly, and often asymptomatic. However, complications like diverticulitis, perforation, obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding pose diagnostic and management challenges. This case series describes five patients with complicated JD. Four had jejunal diverticulitis, two with free perforation requiring emergency surgery, two with chronic inflammation. The fifth patient had severe gastrointestinal bleeding undetected by conventional endoscopy requiring advanced diagnostics. Three patients with diverticulitis underwent successful segmental resection, one was managed conservatively. The patient with gastrointestinal bleeding responded to conservative management without a surgical intervention. JD can cause life threatening complications. Clinicians should suspect it in elderly patients with acute abdominal symptoms or obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Prompt imaging and individualized management are crucial for optimizing outcomes. This report highlights the need for greater awareness of JD as a differential diagnosis in abdominal pain and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
