Constipation Misperception: Could It Be Familial Adenomatosis Polyposis?
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Familial adenomatosis polyposis (FAP) is a rare cause of colorectal cancer. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for colorectal cancer in average-risk, asymptomatic adults aged 50 to 75 years. While age is the most important risk factor, we need to consider the family history of colorectal cancer. FAP is a rare cause of colorectal cancer, leading to high morbidity and mortality if undetected and undiagnosed. It is easy to overlook the family history in a busy primary care clinic with limited patient encounter times. Clinicians mustn't forget this important piece of information as it can give leads for further patient evaluation. We present a case report of a 21-year-old male who presented to our clinic to establish primary care and with vague abdominal complaints. Still, the concerning family history of early onset colon cancer in his half-sister raised red flags and directed us to further evaluate. Further evaluation revealed our patient, in fact, had FAP.
