Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Colonoscopy offers incomplete protection from colorectal cancer, particularly in the right colon. Part of this inadequacy may be related to serrated neoplasia. Serrated polyps of the colorectum are now understood to be a heterogeneous group of polyps, some of which are cancer precursors, such as the sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) and the traditional serrated adenoma (TSA). In contrast to conventional adenomas, there is limited published literature on the epidemiology and natural history of these lesions. Furthermore, existing guidelines regarding screening and surveillance practices for these polyps are based largely on expert opinion without firm evidence. In this review, we describe the current understanding of the molecular biology, histopathology, and endoscopic features of serrated neoplasia of the colorectum, with an emphasis on aspects relevant to the practicing gastroenterologist.
