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

objectiveTo compare the risk factors associated with serrated polyps (SPs) and conventional adenoma (CA).

methodsOne hundred and three healthy control subjects, 100 patients with pathologically confirmed SPs and 115 with CA were randomly selected from individuals undergoing colonoscopy in Nanfang Hospital from 2012 to 2015. The demographic and clinical data were collected from the subjects, including age, gender, height, weight, hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, alcohol use, family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) and blood lipids.

resultsAmong the enrolled subjects, the mean onset age of SPs was 48.87 years (95%CI: 47.22-50.52 years), significantly younger than that of CA (P%0.038). The risk factors both for SPs and CA include an advanced age, a male gender (OR%2.75 [95%CI: 1.50-5.07] for SPs, and OR%2.19 [95%CI: 1.22-3.95] for CA), and a high body mass index (OR%1.18 [95%CI: 1.06-1.30] for SPs and OR%1.20 [95%CI: 1.09-1.32] for CA. Relative to the young individuals (below 45 years of age), the middle-aged individuals (45-60 years of age) had increased risks for SPs and CA by 2.31 [95% CI: 1.46-3.65] folds and 4.10 [95%CI: 2.50-6.72] folds, respectively, and in the elderly (beyond 60 years of age), the risks further increased by 2.77 [95%CI: 1.52-5.04] folds for SPs and by 6.00 [95%CI: 3.26-11.05] folds for CA. Age was more strongly associated with CA than with SPs (OR%2.14 [95%CI: 1.21-3.78], the elderly vs the young, P%0.009).

conclusionSPs and CA have common risk factors, thus the screening strategy for CA may also be applicable to SPs. As the mean onset age of SPs is earlier than 50 years and SPs may rapidly progress to a carcinogenic state, an earlier screening age needs to be considered.
