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

backgroundColonoscopy does miss some lesions that may be later diagnosed as post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers (PCCRCs). We evaluated the rate of PCCRCs in a cohort of our patients.

methodsThe data of patients diagnosed with first primary colorectal cancers (CRCs) between July 2014 and June 2017 were analyzed. Colorectal cancers were considered to be missed if they occurred among patients who have had an index colonoscopy between 7 and 36 months prior to their diagnosis. The incidence of missed lesions and the distribution of such lesions in the large bowel are presented.

resultsIn the study, 399 of the total 541 patients whose CRCs were diagnosed by colonoscopy were included. The median age of the patients (213 males and 186 females) was 75.3 (32.4-82.1) years. Seven patients with diagnosis of primary CRCs had undergone index colonoscopy between 7 and 36 months prior to their diagnostic colonoscopy. Therefore, the PCCRC rate in this cohort was 1.8% (7/399 × 100). The mean time interval between the false negative colonoscopy (index colonoscopy) and diagnostic colonoscopy was 18.7 (9.1- 34.9) months. Missed CRCs were located in the ascending (2), transverse (1), descending (1), and sigmoid colon (2) and in the rectum (1).

conclusionOur PCCRC rate was 1.8%, which is lower than the usually reported rate.
