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

Although the literature describes mutY homolog gene (MYH) polyposis as an autosomal recessive syndrome, we report a case of colorectal cancer in a carrier of MYH polyposis. Biallelic mutations in the MYH gene have been shown to increase the risk of colorectal cancer over the lifetime of the mutation carrier.1,2 However, there is no clear consensus in the literature as whether a monoallelic mutation increases the risk for colorectal cancer.3 In this report, we postulate that a single mutation is sufficient to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. We also propose that the G382D MYH mutation may play a dominant rather than a recessive role in polyposis and cancer development.
