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

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare, hereditary disease characterized by the presence of 100 or more adenomas distributed throughout the colon and rectum. If untreated, colorectal cancer develops in almost 100% of FAP patients. As prophylactic treatment, proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis remains the surgical treatment of choice. High rates of postoperative complications, however, have been reported with this procedure, including bowel dysfunction, incontinence, and reduced female fecundity. Some novel strategies for preventing hereditary colon cancers have been reported. This review summarizes alternative treatments, including the laparoscopic approach, chemoprevention, endoscopic management, and subtotal colectomy combined with endoscopic treatment, for prophylaxis of colorectal cancer in FAP patients.
