I find that diffs like

   for row in (
       (item_bar, details_bar),
       (item_foo, details_foo),
+     (item_baz, details_baz),
       ):
     do_something(row)

are much easier/faster to understand instead of

   for row in (
       (item_bar, details_bar),
-     (item_foo, details_foo)):
+     (item_foo, details_foo),
+     (item_baz, details_baz)):
     do_something(row)
