Appendicular Diverticulum and Colorectal Neoplasia: A Case Series and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Appendicular diverticulosis is a rare condition often discovered incidentally and associated with an increased risk of complications such as perforation, bleeding, and neoplasia. We present three cases of appendicular diverticulosis with varying presentations: one associated with acute appendicitis and two identified incidentally during surgical procedures. After a thorough literature review to back up this report, 19 cases were found with this condition and similar characteristics: of 19 patients, the majority were aged 40-60 years, with a slight male predominance, and abdominal pain was the most common symptom. The primary diagnostic modality was abdominal computed tomography, with perforation observed in approximately 27% of cases and one instance of appendiceal adenocarcinoma identified. The potential for serious complications underscores the importance of early diagnosis and individualized management to prevent morbidity, given the higher likelihood of neoplasia and perforation in patients with this condition.
