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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most widespread malignancy, posing as a great challenge due to its high incidence and mortality in both genders. Yet, it also stands as one of the most preventable diseases because of its known malignant transformation mostly from tubular adenomas or serrated polyps, therefore offering a strong incentive to the screening programs that are being developed for this disease. Current diagnosis of CRC has surely evolved along with the evolutionary step in gastrointestinal technology of flexible endoscopy. These innovations have promoted colonoscopy as a primary choice for screening programs of colonic lesions, proving to be of great benefit for patient's well-being. In this review, we present the current status of CRC screening methods from the non-invasive options to the long developed colonoscopic and imaging techniques. We search through PubMed and Medline databases and chose relevant articles on CRC with focus on blood based biomarkers and stool based tests. Additional relevant publications were also according to the reference lists of firstly identified articles.
