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

Duodenal diverticula (DD) are commonly encountered in the periampullary region but rarely on the lateral wall of the duodenum. They can develop complications such as diverticulitis, bleeding, and perforation. A 69-year-old healthy woman presented with melena due to a bleeding lesion in a lateral DD that was treated with hemoclipping. Two days later, she developed fever, hypotension, and an elevated CRP with mild abdominal pain and had no signs of peritonitis. A CT scan with oral contrast showed a large diverticulum at the junction of the descending and horizontal part of the duodenum and a perforation with minimal clinical symptoms that was successfully treated conservatively. Although causality could not be established, a retroperitoneal perforation following endoscopic hemostasis was a suspected complication of hemostatic clipping. Physicians should have a low threshold for a CT scan in the case of raised fever or inflammatory markers following endoscopic management of DD.
