The value of mucin histochemistry, autoradiography and analysis of cellular DNA content for cancer surveillance in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Review in The Japanese journal of surgery, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although only a small proportion of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) will develop cancer, colorectal carcinoma is still an important complication of UC. Traditionally, histopathological dysplasia has been used as a marker for colorectal carcinogenesis in patients with UC, however, wide within- and between-observer disagreements regarding the grading of dysplasia have become evident of late. Recently, mucin histochemistry, autoradiography and flow cytometric or static cytophotometric DNA analysis have been used for monitoring the development of colorectal carcinoma in patients with UC. A brief review of the recent literatures, however, has disclosed that the value of these modern techniques in the follow up surveillance of patients with UC of long standing is rather limited and that none of these measures should be used in isolation for the early detection of colorectal carcinoma arising in UC, or for selecting candidates for colectomy. Rather, the possible role of these modern techniques appears to be as a tool for elucidating the mechanism of colorectal carcinogenesis in patients with UC.
