Relationship of coffee consumption with colonic diverticulosis.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDiverticulosis is the most common benign pathology of the colon. Genetics, inflammation, neuromuscular abnormalities, colonic motility and lifestyle including dietary habits play roles in disease pathogenesis. Coffee is one of the most commonly consumed beverages worldwide and exerts antiinflammatory functions in the human body as well as affecting colonic motility and neuromuscular physiology of the gastrointestinal system. Therefore, this study was planned to investigate the relationship between coffee consumption and diverticulosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 1669 patients undergoing colonoscopy was enrolled in this cross-sectional study over a span of one year. Data from the patients was gathered through a questionnaire and matched with colonoscopy results. Coffee consumption was evaluated both as total cups of coffee consumed regardless of subtype per day and individual consumption of subtypes which were designated as instant coffee (Nescafe), Turkish coffee and brewed coffee (referred to as machine coffee in Turkey).
resultsOverall coffee consumption regardless of subtype was not found to be related to diverticulosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed age and non-steroid antiinflammatory drug usage were risk factors for diverticulosis with odds ratios of 1.062 and 1.645 respectively. Regular exercise was found to be related with lower rates of colonic diverticulosis with an odds ratio of 0.684. Coffee consumption be it total sum or specific subtypes or caffeine intake were not found to be statistically significantly related to diverticulosis in multivariate logistic regression analysis.
conclusionThis study revealed that coffee intake or caffeine intake does not increase the risk of colonic diverticulosis. Further research may explore whether different coffee types have varying effects.
