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

Benign proliferations of smooth muscle cells are known as leiomyomas; these proliferations can occur in the colon and are typically found incidentally. Colonic leiomyomas are very rare and are most commonly found in the descending or sigmoid colon. A 59-year-old Hispanic female presented to the gastroenterology clinic for surveillance colonoscopy. The biopsy showed a submucosal microscopic leiomyoma in the transverse colon. The treatment of choice for most colonic leiomyomas is surgical excision. This rare case favors the notion that endoscopic polypectomy may be superior to surgical excision, ultimately providing a less-invasive and less-costly procedure without complications or recurrence.
