The Prevalence and Risk Factors of Gastric Polyp in Asymptomatic Patients Receiving Health Examination.
Article in Gastroenterology research and practice, 2018. 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
backgroundTo determine the risk factors and prevalence of asymptomatic gastric polyps in the general population of Taiwan.
methodsConsecutive asymptomatic individuals completing a health examination during October 2015-March 2016 were enrolled in the study and subjected to upper GI endoscopy. Their demographic data and medical history were collected, and the prevalence of gastric polyps was calculated. The risk factors of gastric polyps were identified by analyzing these data through univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
resultsGastric polyp prevalence in the study population was 29.8%. Age range of 45-60 years, current smoking, and lack of regular exercise were found to be significantly associated with gastric polyps, whereas age range of 45-60 years (relative risk [RR], 1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-2.40) and current smoking (RR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.04-2.55) were found to be independent predictors for gastric polyps.
conclusionsIn Taiwan, asymptomatic gastric polyps have a prevalence of 29.8%. Age range of 45-60 years and current smoking may increase the risk of asymptomatic gastric polyps.
