Chronic Viral Hepatitis Is Associated with Colorectal Neoplasia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
backgroundChronic viral hepatitis is associated with a wide range of extrahepatic diseases; however, evidence on a link between chronic viral hepatitis and colorectal neoplasia is still lacking.
aimsTo analyze the association between chronic viral hepatitis and prevalence of colorectal neoplasia.
methodsA systematic review of articles published in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library between 2000 and 2020 was performed. Subgroup analyses based on the types of colorectal neoplasia and the etiology of chronic viral hepatitis were conducted.
resultsTwelve eligible studies with 48,428 hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients and 46,561 hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients were included. Chronic viral hepatitis was significantly associated with an increased risk of both colorectal adenoma (odds ratio [OR], 1.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-2.02; I
conclusionOur meta-analysis showed that chronic viral hepatitis is associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. The strategy of stricter screening colonoscopy may benefit from patients with chronic viral hepatitis.
