Diverticular disease increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction.
Review in Przeglad gastroenterologiczny, 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
Introduction: Diverticular disease is commonly seen among patients with cardiovascular diseases and is linked to adverse outcomes. However, the association between diverticular disease and the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains conflicting. Aim: We aim to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarise the available data on this topic.Methods: We identified potentially eligible studies from the Medline and Embase databases, searching from inception to August 2024, to investigate the association between diverticular disease and the risk of developing AMI. To be included, studies needed to compare incidence of AMI between cohorts with and without diverticular disease. Effect size and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined using the generic inverse variance method. All statistical analyses were performed by Review Manager 5.4. Results: Our meta-analysis included four studies that met the eligibility criteria. There were 898,397 participants, with a mean age of 57 years, and 43% were males. We found that patients with diverticular disease have a 27% increased risk of AMI with a pooled risk ratio (RR) of 1.27 (95% CI: 1.17, 1.37; Conclusions: Our study revealed that diverticular disease is associated with a higher risk of AMI. Emphasising and addressing gastrointestinal health, including diverticular disease, as an important issue, is essential for comprehensive cardiovascular care.
