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

purposeThe aim of this study was to determine risk factors for the development of sessile serrated adenomas (SSA/Ps) as well as to study differences between groups with SSA/Ps and conventional adenomas (tubular, tubulovillus and villus) in the general population.

methodsOne hundred patients with normal colonoscopies, 27 patients with 53 SSA/Ps and 69 patients with 156 conventional adenomas were studied, epidemiological data were collected and calculations of body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio were performed prior to endoscopy. A univariate and a multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed using Stata 9.0.

resultsSSA/Ps had a positive association with increasing age (p = 0.01), heavy smoking (≥20 packet years) (p = 0.001) and past history of polyps (p = 0.004) in comparison to normal population. SSA/Ps showed an inverse association with conventional adenomas for diabetes mellitus (p < 0.001) and arterial hypertension (p = 0.001). Meanwhile, female sex was positively associated with SSA/P development in comparison to conventional adenomas (p = 0.031).

conclusionsHeavy smoking as a significant risk factor for developing SSA/Ps was confirmed from this study. It also seemed that patients with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension developed conventional adenomas more frequently than SSA/Ps; on the contrary, females were at higher risk of developing SSA/Ps than conventional adenomas.
