Exploratory Analysis of Plasma Neurotensin as a Novel Biomarker for Early Detection of Colorectal Polyp and Cancer.
Article in Hormones & cancer, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Earlier detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) results in improved survival. Existing non-invasive biomarkers have suboptimal accuracy. Neurotensin (NTS) is involved in CRC carcinogenesis. This study evaluated the diagnostic potential of plasma NTS for colorectal polyps and cancers. Participants were selected based on national CRC referral guidelines. All subjects underwent colonoscopy. Average plasma concentrations were compared across different diagnostic groups. Predictors for detecting colorectal neoplasia were identified. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy of NTS. An independent biobank was used as validation group. Of 165 participants, 46 had polyps or CRC. Significantly higher plasma NTS was found in the colonic neoplasia group (603.6 pg/ml vs. 407.2 pg/ml, p < 0.01). Risk factors for colonic polyps or cancers included Log
