Adenoma development in a patient with MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP): new insights into the natural course of polyp development.

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.
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
purposeBiallelic germ-line mutations in MUTYH have recently been found to predispose for MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP). Affected patients present with a wide range of clinical phenotypes at the time of diagnosis, but there is little precise information about the natural course of this disease.
resultsFourteen years of colonoscopic surveillance of an MAP patient (compound heterozygous p.Y165C/p.G382D) showed that adenoma development was slow after initial diagnosis of a single colorectal carcinoma at the age of 44, but then the annual number of new adenomas increased substantially in the patient's early fifties.
conclusionThis course of the disease, with a strong subsequent acceleration of polyp development, may explain the wide range of polyp numbers counted in newly diagnosed MAP patients as a result of the time of observation. Therefore, MAP should also be considered in younger patients (35-55 years) with only few adenomas or colorectal cancer. The high frequency of medium and severe dysplasia in the patient's preferential small adenomas suggests accelerated progression from adenoma to carcinoma in MAP, but this observation must be confirmed by further studies.
