Is Colonoscopic Screening Necessary for Patients Younger than 50 Years with Gastric Adenoma or Cancer?
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Patients, aged ≥ 50 years, with gastric neoplasm are reported to be at increased risk for colorectal neoplasia (CRN), while data regarding the risk of CRN in young patients, aged < 50 years with gastric neoplasm are limited. We aimed to investigate the risk of CRN according to the presence of gastric neoplasm in patients, aged < 50 years, and conducted a cross-sectional study on 131,888 asymptomatic examinees who underwent both esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy as part of a health screening program between 2010 and 2014. The prevalence of overall CRN (8.6% vs. 13.2%, P = 0.251) and advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACRN) (0.0% vs. 1.3%, P = 0.345) did not significantly differ according to the presence of gastric neoplasm in subjects, aged < 50 years. However, among subjects aged ≥ 50 years, patients with gastric neoplasm had a significantly higher proportion of overall CRN (48.2% vs. 31.7%, P < 0.001) and ACRN (12.5% vs. 4.5%, P < 0.001) compared with those without gastric neoplasm. Particularly, gastric neoplasm was an independent risk factor for ACRN after controlling for confounding factors among subjects, aged ≥ 50 years. In conclusion, gastric neoplasm was a risk factor for CRN in patients, aged ≥ 50 years, but not in patients, aged < 50 years. Young patients, aged < 50 years with gastric neoplasm do not need to undergo colonoscopy, whereas patients, aged ≥ 50 years with gastric neoplasm, should be considered a higher priority for colonoscopy.
