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

In patients with IBD, chronic colonic inflammation increases the risk of colorectal cancer, perhaps because inflammation predisposes these tissues to genomic instability. Carcinogenesis in the inflamed colon seems to follow a different sequence of genetic alterations than that observed in sporadic cancers in the uninflamed colon. In this Review, we focus on the genetic alterations in colitis-associated colorectal cancer that contribute to the acquisition of the essential hallmarks of cancer, and on how those alterations differ from sporadic colorectal cancers. Our intent is to provide a conceptual basis for categorizing carcinogenetic molecular abnormalities in IBD, and for understanding how cancer-preventive therapies might target reversal of acquired abnormalities in specific biochemical pathways.
