Prevalence of colorectal neoplasia among young African Americans and Hispanic Americans.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
backgroundThe disproportionately higher incidence of and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC) among African Americans (AA) led the American College of Gastroenterology to recommend screening starting at age 45 in 2005.
aimThe purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of colorectal neoplasia among 40-49-year-old inner city AA and Hispanic Americans (HA).
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 2,435 inner city AA and HA who underwent colonoscopy regardless of indication and compared the prevalence of colorectal neoplasia between AA and HA patients. We used logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI).
resultsThere were 2,163 AAs and 272 HA. There were 57 % women in both groups. A total of 158 (7 %) AA and 9 (3 %) HA (P = 0.014) underwent the procedures for CRC screening. When compared to HAs, AAs had higher prevalence of any polyp (35 vs. 18 %, OR = 2.53; 95 % CI 1.82-3.52). Overall, AA had higher prevalence of colorectal neoplasia (adenoma and cancer) when compared to HAs (16 vs. 10 %; OR = 1.68; 95 % CI 1.10-2.56).
conclusionWe observed a higher frequency of colorectal neoplasia among 40-49-year-old AAs as compared to HAs suggesting an increased susceptibility to CRC risk in this population.
