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

The severity and distribution of melanosis coli differ among individuals, and the related factors remain unknown. Additionally, their clinical implications have not been sufficiently demon-strated. Thus, we aimed to detect clinical factors related to the severity and range of melanosis coli and elucidate the associations between the grade, location, and detection rate of colorectal neoplasms. Colonoscopy cases performed at our institution from January 2011 to February 2021 were included. Melanosis coli was classified into mild and severe grades. Clinical characteristics and neoplasm detection rates were compared between the mild and severe MC groups and between the right-sided and whole-colon melanosis coli groups. Overall, 236 MC (mild,
