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

Colorectal carcinomas (CRC) usually arise in colorectal adenomas (CRA) displaying high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or carcinoma in situ (CIS). The aim was to assess the frequency of adenomas displaying HGD or CIS in a cohort of consecutive CRA with submucosal invasive carcinoma. Ninety-two consecutive adenomas were investigated. Sub-mucosal invasion was present in the 39 adenomas with HGD (42%) and in 58% (53/92) of the adenomas with CIS (p<0.05). Sections from 49 adenomas were stained with the DNA-specific Feulgen reaction and for the proliferation marker Ki-67. Five consecutive high power fields (HPFs) were evaluated using a x40 objective. Marked Feulgen reaction was recorded in 91.8% or in 101 of the 110 HPFs studied in adenomas with HGD, but in none of the 135 HPFs studied in adenomas with CIS (p<0.05). Intense Ki-67 expression (>/=75%) was present in 98.2% or in 108 of the 110 HPFs studied in adenomas with HGD, but only in 1.4% or in 2 of the 135 HPFs in adenomas with CIS (p<0.05). Hence, HGD cells and CIS cells can be differentiated not only morphologically but also chemically by the semi-quantitative appreciation of their DNA content and immunohistochemically by the apparent difference in cell proliferation. Although submucosal invasion occurred significantly more frequently in adenomas with CIS than in those with HGD, as many as 42% of the adenomas with submucosal invasion displayed HGD at histology. Despite morphological, chemical and immunohistochemical dissimilarities, these 2 non-invasive neoplasias might have similar biological behaviour in terms of progression towards submucosal invasion.
