Perforated jejunal diverticulitis in a Jehovah's Witness complicated by postoperative haemorrhage: a case report of successful bloodless management.

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
While colonic diverticulosis affects approximately half of adults over 60 years of age in Western populations, jejunal diverticulosis are rare with a reported prevalence of 0.2%-1.9% associated with high mortality rate (up to 40%) when presented as complicated. Performing lifesaving surgery while respecting patient's autonomy and informed refusal of blood transfusion represents a challenge on its own for the medical team. We present a case of a 74-year-old Jehovah's Witness man who was diagnosed intraoperatively with perforated jejunal diverticulitis. Emergency laparotomy with segmental jejunal resection and primary anastomosis was performed. On the fifth postoperative day the patient developed post-operative haemorrhage secondary to laparotomy disruption with omental tearing, requiring urgent reoperation. Despite refusing allogenic blood transfusion, blood loss was successfully managed without transfusion. Post-operative anemia was treated with intravenous iron, vitamin B
