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

BACKGROUND &

aimsIt is essential to optimize standard colonoscopy technique to be able to increase polyp detection. We sought to compare the performance of colonoscopy using a high-definition, wide-angle endoscope (HDE) versus a standard colonoscope (SC) for the detection of colorectal neoplasia. PATIENTS AND

methodsAll consecutive consenting adult patients referred from primary care centers were included and randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to undergo HDE or SC. Times to reach and withdraw from the cecum were measured. Morphology, size, location, and pathologic diagnosis of each polyp were recorded. Sample size calculation resulted in a total of 682 patients needed.

resultsA total of 693 consecutive patients fulfilled all inclusion criteria (73 excluded owing to insufficient bowel preparation). Each arm included 310 patients with no baseline characteristic differences. Time to reach the cecum was slightly superior for SC (8.9 +/- 4.8 minutes vs 8.2 +/- 4.5 minutes; P = .055). Pathology examination was feasible in 418 lesions (272 adenomas, 109 hyperplastic polyps, and 37 inflammatory lesions). Both techniques detected a similar number and type of lesions, and there were no differences in the distribution along the colon, in the degree of dysplasia, or morphology of adenomas. The per-patient basis analyses demonstrated that there were no differences between the 2 arms of the study in the detection rates of polyps (SC, 0.84 +/- 1.59; HDE, 0.83 +/- 1.30), adenomas (0.45 +/- 1.07 vs 0.43 +/- 0.87), small adenomas (0.22 +/- 0.71 vs 0.28 +/- 0.78), flat adenomas (0.30 +/- 0.91 vs 0.21 +/- 0.63), or hyperplastic polyps (0.16 +/- 0.50 vs 0.18 +/- 0.54).

conclusionHDE did not detect significantly more colorectal neoplasia than SC.
