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 cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Colorectal cancer commonly develops slowly via adenomatous polyps, a process usually requiring ≥ 10 years. This allows for early detection. Endoscopic polypectomy and surgery of early disease can reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. Both hemoccult testing and colonoscopy are the most widely used tests for colorectal cancer screening; however, colonoscopy has the highest sensitivity for colorectal neoplasia. Sigmoidoscopy is not commonly used for screening in Germany. Colon contrast enema is no longer recommended for screening. As colonoscopy serves as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool and is the reference method in hemoccult and sigmoidoscopy studies, it is viewed as the gold standard for the diagnosis of colonic disease. New methods including capsule colonoscopy and virtual colonoscopy have great potential but are currently not recommended for early detection of colonic neoplasia.
