Colon Cancer and Diverticular Disease Association: a Case-Control Study.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo determine if there is an association between diverticular disease and colon cancer diagnoses with a secondary outcome of assessing other known risk factors for colon cancer. Colon cancer and diverticular disease have many shared symptoms and risk factors; the association between the two has been debated for many years.
methods36 cases of colon cancer and 144 age- and sex-matched controls were identified from records at an outpatient endoscopy center in Georgia. These cases and controls then were subject to a retrospective chart review to obtain any known risk factor data points for both diverticular disease and colon cancer. A traditional conditional logistic regression and a stepwise conditional logistic regression model were used to analyze the data using significant data points (P < 0.05).
resultsThe final stepwise model found that systolic blood pressure (aOR = 1.027, 95% CI = 1.001 to 1.053), history of polyps (aOR = 0.106, 95% CI = 0.029 to 0.387), exercise (aOR = 0.311, 95% CI = 0.029 to 0.387), and history of diverticular disease (aOR = 0.269, 95% CI = 0.091 to 0.795) were protective factors significantly associated with colon cancer.
conclusionsPresence and history of the removal of colorectal polyps, presence or history of diverticular disease, and exercise pose as protective factors against development of colon cancer.
