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

The occurrence of colonic polyps is a common phenomenon; however, where there are numerous adenomas or other polyps, and/or the patient is at a relatively young age, an inheritable form of gastrointestinal polyposis should be considered. Patients can present via different referral routes, for example, at colonoscopy where multiple polyps are detected, following a personal diagnosis of colorectal cancer, or by family screening. This article outlines the important considerations in the diagnosis of a polyposis syndrome and key diagnostic features to consider. It will also describe the underlying genetic factors associated with the common polyposis syndromes, including classical familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), attenuated FAP, MUTYH-associated adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis syndrome, Cowden syndrome and serrated polyposis, and the subsequent management of each condition.
