Clinicopathologic analysis and subclassification of benign lipomatous lesions of the colon.
Article in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Benign lipomatous lesions of the colon are generally asymptomatic. A few histologic subtypes are appreciable, but this is poorly studied. We categorized 404 benign colonic lipomatous lesions as vascular lipoma, fibrolipoma, mucosal lipoma, or lipoma not otherwise specified (NOS). We compared patient age and sex, tumor site and size, symptoms, whether the lesion was flat or pedunculated, and whether an overlying epithelial lesion was present. Symptomatic cases (4%) were larger on average than non-symptomatic ones (mean 3.70 cm vs. 1.30 cm, P < 0.0001). Lipoma NOS was commonly right-sided (P < 0.001) and commonly had an associated epithelial proliferation (P = 0.0004). Vascular lipomas were larger (mean 1.93 cm, P < 0.0001) than other types; they were the most commonly symptomatic, though this was not statistically significant. Mucosal lipomas were smallest on average (mean 0.48 cm) and were not associated with any clinical syndromes. Some colonic lipomas are non-incidental. Vascular lipomas are more often large, while lipomas NOS more often have an associated epithelial proliferation. Colonic lipomas are generally sporadic.
