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
introductionIncidence of colorectal carcinoma is increasing all over world. There is limited data on colorectal polyps from India. We evaluated the histomorphological features of colorectal polyps and determined risk stratification in adenomatous polyps.
methodsIn 4970 consecutive colonoscopies, colorectal polyps were detected in 515 cases (10.3 %). Polyps were classified using standard histological criteria. Each polyp was evaluated for presence of dysplasia. Adenomatous polyps were classified as low-risk adenomas (1-2 tubular adenomas <10 mm) and high-risk adenomas characterized by villous histology, high-grade dysplasia, size ≥10 mm, or ≥3 adenomas.
resultsOf 515 colorectal polyps, 270 (52.4 %) were adenomatous, followed by 78 (15.1 %) inflammatory, 78 (15.1 %) hyperplastic, 32 (6.2 %) hamartomatous polyps, 25 (4.8 %) benign epithelial polyps, 5 (0.9 %) cap polyps, 5 (0.9 %) lipomatous polyps, 3 (0.5 %) angiomatous polyps, 4 (0.7 %) lymphoid, and 15 (2.9 %) cases with adenocarcinoma masquerading as polyps. Mean (SD) age with colorectal polyps was 54.8 (33.0) years while for adenomatous polyps, 59.5 (14.8) years with male to female ratio of 2:1. Majority of adenomatous polyps 124 (45.9 %) were tubular adenomas present in rectosigmoid. High-grade dysplasia was found in 38 (14 %) adenomas. One hundred and fifty-five (57.4 %) were high risk of which majority were villous adenomas and nine (7.2 %) tubular adenomas.
conclusionThe most common colorectal polyps found during routine colonoscopy were 270 adenomatous (52.4 %) cases. Of these, 155 (57.4 %) adenomatous polyps were high-risk category. Population prevalence data of colonic polyps in general population beyond the age of 50 years needs to be obtained.
