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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the relation between computed tomography colonoscopy (CTC) features of colorectal cancer (CRC) and incomplete colonoscopy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe subjects of this retrospective study consisted of 108 patients with advanced CRC (57 men, 51 women; age range, 32-87 years; median, 65 years) who underwent CTC. We compared local CTC features between the groups of complete (n = 74) and incomplete colonoscopy (n = 34). We performed a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to assess a diagnostic performance of CTC features to predict incomplete colonoscopy.

resultsThe cross-sectional area of tumor and stenosis of complete colonoscopy group were significantly smaller and larger than those of incomplete colonoscopy group (p = 0.001 and < 0.001). Circumferential tumor extent rate (CER) showed significantly higher in the incomplete colonoscopy group than complete colonoscopy group (p < 0.001). In the ROC analysis, the cross-sectional area of stenosis showed AUC of 0.916, which was the best to predict incomplete colonoscopy.

conclusionCTC features including larger cross-sectional area of tumor, smaller cross-sectional area of stenosis and 100% CER were significantly associated with incomplete colonoscopy for the patients with CRC.
