Increasing colorectal cancer in the young population and tailoring of the colorectal cancer screening recommendations in subpopulation: a retrospective single-center study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) newly drafted recommendations for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening age in average-risk individuals decreased to 45 years from 50 years. This study evaluates the change in the incidence of CRC, compares the demographic characteristics, characteristics of CRC, survival, and factors affecting the survival of younger (< 50 years) with the older (> 50 years) CRC-diagnosed population of Boston Medical Center (BMC). Also tailors the screening recommendations of CRC based on subpopulations.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2004 to 2019 at BMC who underwent colonoscopy, to see newly diagnosed CRC. The analysis was done in R studio version 1.2.5033.
resultsThe incidence rate of CRC is increasing in the younger population. The CRC in younger population was 350 and older was 2019. The most prevalent site among the younger population was rectum (33.33%), and most of the CRC were diagnosed at an advanced stage. Hispanics were less likely to be diagnosed with CRC in older age group (OR= 0.468, 95% CI 0.285, 0.796). Lower BMI was associated with a higher risk of mortality (p= 0.012). There was no difference in survival in younger and older populations.
conclusionsCRC is increasing in the younger population, and Hispanics are diagnosed with CRC usually at a younger age. Early screening in young populations with average risk and even earlier screening in high-risk populations like Hispanics is warranted for timely recognition for prevention, early management, and reduction of mortality.
