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

backgroundRecent studies have shown that traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) can be classified into BRAF and KRAS subtypes. Here, we examined the clinicopathological and molecular findings of 73 TSAs. MATERIALS AND

methodsTSAs were subclassified into BRAF type (46 cases, type A) and KRAS type (27 cases, type B) and divided into polyp head (TSA component) and base (precursor component [PC]) to identify pathological and molecular differences between the two components. BRAF and KRAS mutations, microsatellite instability (MSI), and DNA methylation status of the TSA component and PC were analyzed. In addition, immunohistochemical expressions of annexin A10, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, and CD10 were also examined. Finally, we compared endoscopic findings with histological features.

resultsWe classified type As into 31 type A1s with mutation of the corresponding PC (42.5%) and 15 type A2s without mutation of the PC (20.5%). None of the corresponding PCs without KRAS mutation were observed in type Bs. MSI was not detected in the TSAs examined. There were significant differences in the frequency of annexin A10 and MUC5AC expression between the three subtypes. Furthermore, we compared the TSA component with the corresponding PC to identify the progression mechanism between the two components. Methylation status played an important role in the progression of type A1 from the corresponding PC, unlike type A2 and type B. Finally, specific endoscopic findings were well correlated with distinct histological findings.

conclusionTSAs were heterogeneous tumors with two or three pathways to neoplastic progression.
