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

aimTo present a comprehensive review of the etiology, clinical features, macroscopic and pathological findings, and clinical significance of Gut-associated lymphoid tissue or "dome" carcinoma of the colon.

methodsThe English language medical literature on gut- or gastrointestinal-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) or "dome" carcinoma of the colon was searched and appraised.

resultsGALT/dome-type carcinomas of the colon are thought to arise from the M-cells of the lymphoglandular complex of the intestine. They are typically asymptomatic and have a characteristic endoscopic plaque- or "dome"-like appearance. Although the histology of GALT/dome-type carcinomas displays some variability, they are characterized by submucosal localization, a prominent lymphoid infiltrate with germinal center formation, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, absence of desmoplasia, and dilated glands lined by columnar epithelial cells with bland nuclear features and cytoplasmic eosinophilia. None of the patients reported in the literature with follow-up have developed metastatic disease or local recurrence.

conclusionIncreased awareness amongst histopathologists of this variant of colorectal adenocarcinoma is likely to lead to the recognition of more cases.
