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

The incidence of colorectal polyps is rising. Certain types of polyps are considered to be the precursor lesions for colorectal cancers. To investigate the prevalence and related factors of colorectal polyps in Chinese subjects, we first performed a cross-sectional study. A total of 3066 subjects were documented, and the prevalence of colorectal polyps was 18.1%. Then we evaluated the incidence and risk factors of polyps via a retrospective cohort study in the same population. 561 subjects who received at least twice surveillance colonoscopies with available reports during the study period and had no polyp at the first endoscopy were included in the retrospective cohort study, of whom 19.1% developed colorectal polyps. Regular smoking was independently associated with the presence and development of colorectal polyps. Further analyses indicated that polyps were associated with smoking status, daily cigarette consumption, and drinking habit. Moreover, smoking tends to be more relavent to rectal, small and single polyp. In conclusion, colorectal polyp is a common disease in China. Exploring the epidemiology and risk factors may improve the prevention of colorectal polyps, even colorectal cancer.
