Colonic polyposis syndromes--an experience from a tertiary centre in South India.

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
backgroundSeveral polyposis syndromes of the gastrointestinal tract have been recognized which carry increased risk for cancer and have a genetic predisposition. There is a paucity of literature regarding the occurrence and the burden of colonic polyposis syndromes in the Indian subcontinent. This study attempts to highlight this hitherto unaddressed burden and the associated increased risk for inherited colonic cancer in this geographical location.
methodsA retrospective study of various colonic polyposis syndromes encountered at a tertiary centre in South India over a period of 8 years (2005 to 2012) was performed. The diagnosis in each case was made histologically with clinicopathological correlation.
resultsFifty cases were identified as belonging to a colonic polyposis syndrome, during the study period. There were 27 males and 23 females with a median age of 36.5 years (range 19 months to 78 years). The commonest syndrome was familial adenomatous polyposis (n = 27; 54 %) followed by Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (n = 11), attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (n = 7), juvenile polyposis syndrome (n = 3), hyperplasic polyposis syndrome (n = 1) and Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (n = 1). Colonic malignancy was documented at first presentation in 22 patients (44 %).
conclusionsOur study highlights the various colonic polyposis syndromes encountered in a tertiary care institution in Southern India.
