Secondary colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundA meta-analysis was conducted on the incidence of colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between UC and colon cancer, and provide a theoretical guidance for clinical diagnoses and treatments of UC.
methodsArticles were searched in Chinese database with "ulcerative colitis", "UC", "colon cancer", "colorectal cancer", "incidence", and "meta-analysis" as the search terms. Articles were searched in English database with "ulcerative colitis", "UC", "colon cancer", "incidence rate", and "meta-analysis" as the search terms. Moreover, articles with the topic of "correlation between UC and colon cancer" were screened. The quality of articles was assessed using Rev Man 5.3 software provided by Cochrane system.
resultsEleven articles were included, most of which were of medium and high quality. Results of meta-analysis showed that 12,216 patients with UC were included in this study, and 110 patients developed colon cancer. There was statistical heterogeneity (Chi DISCUSSION: It was found that the course of disease and the occurrence and development of UC might affect the occurrence of colon cancer through a systematic review of articles. UC was one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer.
