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

introductionHyperplastic polyps represent 30-93% of all gastric epithelial polyps. They are generally detected as innocuous incidental findings; however, they have a risk of neoplastic transformation and recurrence. Frequency and risk factors for neoplastic transformation and recurrence are not well established and are fields of ongoing interest. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of and identify the risk factors for recurrence and neoplastic change of gastric hyperplastic polyps (GHP).

methodsA single-centre retrospective cohort study including consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic resection of GHP from January 2009 to June 2020. Demographic, endoscopic, and histopathologic data was retrieved from the electronic medical records.

resultsA total of 195 patients were included (56% women; median age 67 [35-87] years). The median size of GHP was 10 (3-50) mm, 62% ( DISCUSSION: Our results confirmed the risk of recurrence and neoplastic transformation of GHP. Antrum location was a predictor of recurrence. The risk of neoplastic change was increased in large lesions and with intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia in adjacent mucosa. More frequent endoscopic surveillance may be required in these subgroups of GHP.
