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

introductionFamily history is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), however whether family history also contributes to non-syndromic early-onset CRC is unknown.

methodsWe estimated risk to first-, second-, and third-degree relatives of early-onset CRC cases in the Utah Pedigree Database.

resultsWe observed elevated risks beyond RR = 2.0 for early-onset CRC among first- and second-degree relatives of early-onset CRC cases, with RRs of 6.0 and 3.1, respectively. DISCUSSION: Relatives of early-onset CRC cases are at higher risk of both early-onset CRC and CRC at any age, and the location is not necessarily similar to the affected relative.
