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

Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) is a rare but well-established cause of colorectal carcinoma and multiple polyps. The present paper describes a case of a woman diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 34 years of age and subsequently found to have AFAP by genetic testing. During infancy, the patient underwent surgical correction of esophageal atresia with colonic interposition. While she had developed adenomatous polyps in her native cecum, there was no evidence of polyps or cancer in the segment of large intestine interposed between her upper esophagus and stomach. Therefore, various environmental differences between the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract may play a role in the expression of AFAP phenotype.
