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

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the likelihood of acute diverticulitis and its severity in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) compared to matched controls among those who presented to the emergency room and underwent computed tomography (CT) imaging for abdominal pain. Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective study comparing adult patients with a diagnosis of CVID, who had CT imaging for abdominal pain between the years 2015-2024, to a control cohort of adult patients without CVID. Mann-Whitney Results: A total of 1392 patients were included in the analysis (696 with CVID and 696 without CVID). Of these patients, 72% were female, 96% were white, their median age was 57 years, and their median body mass index was 27.8 kg/m Conclusion: Patients with CVID presenting to the emergency department have lower odds of acute diverticulitis among those who underwent CT imaging for abdominal pain.
