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

purposeProctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch construction is the standard therapy for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP) to prevent the genesis of colorectal carcinomas. In our patient population, we observed the postoperative development of adenomas not only in the pouch but also in the remaining small intestine. The exact incidence of these ileal polyps is still unknown, since the diagnostic possibilities of examining the small intestine are limited.

methodsWe performed wireless capsule endoscopy (CE) in patients who developed postoperative pouch adenomas (PA) to record the simultaneous occurrence of small bowel adenomas and PA. We operated on 46 patients with FAP (m:f 17:10, age 33 +/- 9 years). Thirty-five patients underwent proctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch creation. Pouch endoscopy was performed in regular intervals at 3 months and then annually after proctocolectomy. Capsule endoscopy was additionally carried out in all patients with PA.

resultsIleal PA occurred in 22.8% (n = 8) of the patients with proctocolectomy (n = 35) after a mean of 5 years after surgery. Eight PA patients (all with PA) also had adenomas in the small intestine diagnosed by CE.

conclusionsSince jejunal and ileal adenomas occur in all patients with PA, we recommend regular follow-up examinations, which include pouch endoscopy at 3 months and annually after surgery in the presence of PA after proctocolectomy and pouch creation. On the basis of our observations, we recommend adding CE or double-balloon enteroscopy to the follow-up examination.
