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

Colon lipoma is a rare benign disease in the gastrointestinal tract with an incidence rate of approximately 0.035%-4.4%. The disease is often asymptomatic, so it is frequently discovered incidentally through endoscopy, computed tomography , or autopsy. When the tumor is over 2 cm in size, symptoms such as abdominal pain, bowel disorders, and bowel obstruction are common. Surgery is considered the mainstay of treatment for colonic lipomas. Furthermore, surgical (rather than endoscopic) resection is preferred for lipomas >2 cm to avoid complications such as bleeding and perforation. We report on a 61-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with a 4-cm descending colonic fat tumor detected by endoscopy and computed tomography and confirmed by pathology.
