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

BACKGROUND/

aimsPatients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). High-grade dysplasia (HGD) and low-grade dysplasia (LGD) are premalignant conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of CRC/dysplasia in patients with UC, and the related risk factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsMedical records of 1659 patients dating between 1993 and 2016 were scanned from an inflammatory bowel disease database. A total of 801 patients with UC who underwent at least one colonoscopic procedure with at least 1-year follow-up period were included in the study. Clinical, endoscopic, and histopathological data were assessed.

resultsThe mean disease duration was 6.7±6.6 years. The total disease duration was 5334 person-years duration (pyd), and 34% of patients had the disease for 8 years or longer. The prevalence of UC-associated CRC was 0.7%, and the prevalence of dysplasia was 0.85%. The overall incidence of CRC was determined to be 1.1/1000 pyd. The cumulative risk of CRC was 0.3% at 10 years, 1.3% at 20 years, and 5.9% at 30 years. The Cox regression analysis indicated that primary sclerosing cholangitis (HR:13.677, 95% CI:2.6-70.8, p = 0.012) was an independent risk factor for developing UC-associated CRC.

conclusionThis study underlined the low risk of CRC and dysplasia in patients with UC in a tertiary referral center in the western part of Turkey. Primary sclerosing cholangitis was found to be the most important risk factor for the development of CRC in patients with UC. Identification of risk factors is important to categorize patients into subgroups to know which patients will require frequent surveillance.
