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 fundamental view that colon adenocarcinomas arise only from conventional adenomas has been challenged by the now recognized hyperplastic polyp-serrated adenoma-adenocarcinoma pathway. This article describes the history of the serrated adenoma (both the traditional serrated adenoma and the sessile serrated adenoma) as well as the histology and endoscopic appearance of these lesions in comparison with hyperplastic polyps and mixed polyps. Although the exact pathway is the subject of ongoing research, compelling histologic associations and molecular phenotypes that define the model of the serrated polyp-carcinoma sequence, including microsatellite instability, BRAF/KRAS mutations, and CpG island methylator phenotype, provide strong evidence that this is a genuine pathway. Management of serrated neoplasia of the colon includes careful colonoscopy, complete removal of colonic polyps, sampling fields of diminutive polyps of the rectosigmoid, and basing surveillance on histology of removed polyps.
