Extensive Small Bowel Diverticulosis Incidentally Discovered During Surgery for Small Bowel Volvulus.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Small bowel diverticulosis is a rare condition that is often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. We present a case of extensive small bowel diverticulosis in a woman in her early 90s who was found to have numerous large diverticula during surgery for small bowel volvulus secondary to an adhesive band, requiring segmental small bowel resection. Although the diverticulosis was an incidental finding and was unlikely to have caused the volvulus and subsequent bowel ischemia, small bowel diverticulosis can present with serious complications. Its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. This case highlights the importance of considering small bowel diverticulosis in elderly patients presenting with nonspecific abdominal symptoms or bowel obstruction, as the condition may not be apparent on imaging and may only be identified intraoperatively.
