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

methodsA cross-sectional analysis was performed among 1633 asymptomatic adults who underwent colonoscopy examinations during routine health check-ups at the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, between 2015 and 2018.

resultsA total of 449 (27.50%) participants were diagnosed with colorectal polyps, and those with colorectal polyps had significantly higher hemoglobin levels than did those without colorectal polyps. Hemoglobin levels were positively associated with the prevalence of colorectal polyps, with rates of 16.43%, 26.20%, 32.17%, and 35.87% among participants with hemoglobin levels in the first, second, third, and fourth quartiles, respectively (

conclusionElevated hemoglobin levels were significantly and independently associated with the prevalence and risk of colorectal polyps in asymptomatic adults.
