Circulating Sex Hormones and Risk of Colorectal Adenomas and Serrated Lesions in Men.

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
backgroundSex hormones have been implicated in the etiology of colorectal neoplasia in women for over 40 years, but there has been very little investigation of the role of these hormones in men.
methodsUsing data from an adenoma chemoprevention trial, we conducted a secondary analysis to examine serum hormone levels [testosterone, androstenedione, DHEA sulfate (DHEAS), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG)] and risk of colorectal precursors in 925 men. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to evaluate adjusted associations between hormone levels and risk of "low-risk" (single tubular adenoma < 1 cm) and "high-risk" lesions (advanced adenoma or sessile serrated adenoma or right-sided serrated polyp or >2 adenomas of any size).
resultsOverall, levels of free testosterone, total testosterone, androstenedione, DHEAS, or SHBG were not associated with either "low-risk" or "high-risk" early precursor lesions in the colorectum.
conclusionsThese findings do not support the role of sex hormones in early colorectal neoplasia among men. IMPACT: This large prospective study address a missing gap in knowledge by providing information on the role of sex hormones in colorectal neoplasia in males.
