Ethnic Disparities in Colonic Diverticulosis Between Arab and Jewish Patients: A Large Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 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
Diverticulosis is a prevalent gastrointestinal condition of the colon, influenced by age, dietary, lifestyle, and hereditary factors. This study aimed to explore population-specific variations and disparities between two ethnic groups (Arabs and Jews) served by the same healthcare system. Clinical data of diverticulosis patients was extracted using the MDClone platform of Clalit Health Maintenance Organization. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, hospital admissions and complications were analyzed. A total of 12,209 Arab and 136,885 Jewish patients (n = 149,094) were included in our analysis. Arab patients were diagnosed at a significantly younger age (59.4 ± 14.5 vs. 67.6 ± 13 years; p < 0.001). They also had a higher prevalence of smoking (30.3% vs. 26.2%; p < 0.001), diabetes (36.6% vs. 26.8%; p < 0.001), and obesity (47.2% vs. 28.9%; p < 0.001), but lower depression (7.7% vs. 12.9%; p < 0.001). In terms of diverticulosis-related complications, Arabs showed increased rates of diverticulitis (16.5% vs. 14.6%; p < 0.001) and total complications (18.9% vs. 17.4%; p < 0.001). Our findings highlight significant variations and disparities in disease burden, associated risks, and risk factor profiles between Arab and Jewish populations in Israel. These findings emphasize the need for targeted prevention and early intervention strategies for specific ethnic groups.
