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

backgroundPost-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (CRC) rates for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are unacceptably high. During colonoscopy, an intravenous fluorescent anti-c-MET probe may improve endoscopic detection of lesions. However, c-MET expression in IBD lesions is poorly defined, limiting translational studies.

aimTo comprehensively define c-MET expression in sporadic and IBD-associated colorectal carcinogenesis.

methodsc-MET expression was immunohistochemically assessed in 319 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens, colonoscopically or surgically retrieved between 1994-2017. Tissue included: 30 normal colorectal biopsies, 30 hyperplastic polyps (HP), 31 sessile serrated lesions (SSL), 55 tubular/tubulovillous adenomas with low (TA-LGD,

resultsPositive epithelial cytoplasmic and membranous c-MET expression was observed in all tissues, indicating there is ubiquitous expression in the colorectum. c-MET expression was weak in normal colonic epithelium compared with each of the sporadic colonic lesions, including TA-LGD (

conclusionThe characterisation of c-MET expression suggest that an intravenous probe may improve the endoscopic detection of lesions in both non-IBD patients and IBD patients with quiescent disease.
