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

The most frequent hereditary colorectal cancer predisposition is Lynch syndrome, or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer. The option of prophylactic surgery relies on the penetrance of the genetic defect and the heterogeneity of the condition. Since 20% of all mutation carriers never move on to develop cancer, the purely prophylactic setting is not indicated. However, when colorectal cancer is diagnosed, the question arises if the patient may benefit from extended surgery -- total colectomy or (restorative) proctocolectomy. These patients should be entered into the ongoing prospective-randomized study by German Cancer Aid (http://www.hnpcc-studie.de). Due to substantially increased cancer risk and poor surveillance options, the endometrium and stomach are also subject to the question of prophylactic intervention.
