1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute colonic diverticulitis is a common gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder. The incidence of acute colonic diverticulitis has been steadily increasing in Korea, particularly among younger and middle-aged adults. This rising prevalence, along with the observed differences in clinical characteristics compared to Western populations, underscores the need for region-specific, evidence-based guidance. The Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases (KASID) established a task force to develop these clinical practice guidelines to optimize the diagnosis and medical management of acute colonic diverticulitis tailored to the Korean healthcare environment. These guidelines were developed through a systematic literature review, critical appraisal of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology, and expert consensus via a modified Delphi method. They addressed 12 clinical questions encompassing prognostic factors, diagnostic modalities, initial management for uncomplicated diverticulitis, management of complications, and prevention of recurrence. The resulting recommendations provide clinicians with evidence-based guidance for individualized management based on patients' condition and values. These guidelines aim to enhance the quality of care and optimize outcomes for patients with acute colonic diverticulitis in Korea.
