Hartmann's procedure vs primary anastomosis: patient-centered outcomes in older adults.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Diverticulitis in older adults often requires surgical intervention, with Hartmann's procedure (HP) and primary anastomosis with proximal diversion (PAPD) being commonly performed approaches. Patient-centered outcomes, including days alive and at home (DAAH) and non-home discharge, are increasingly recognized as crucial metrics. Recent retrospective analyses indicate no significant differences in DAAH or non-home discharge between HP and PAPD, even in urgent or emergent admissions. Postoperative complications, rather than surgical strategy, predominantly influence recovery. These findings underscore that both procedures are safe and feasible for older adults, allowing individualized decision-making based on patient condition and surgeon expertise. Future studies integrating frailty and patient-reported outcomes are warranted to optimize surgical care in this population.
