Current practice of colonoscopy surveillance in patients with lynch syndrome: A multicenter retrospective cohort study in Japan.

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
Objectives: Colonoscopy surveillance reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer through the detection and endoscopic removal of adenomas. Current guidelines recommend that patients with Lynch syndrome should have colonoscopy surveillance every 1-2 years starting at the age of 20-25. However, insufficient data are available to evaluate the quality and safety of colonoscopy surveillance for patients with Lynch syndrome nationwide in Japan. Methods: Patients with Lynch syndrome ( Results: The colonoscopy completion rate was 98.8% and a history of previous colorectal cancer surgery was significantly associated with a higher completion rate. All complications were associated with endoscopic treatment and the rate of bleeding needing hemostasis and perforation needing surgical repair were both 0.16% after colonoscopy with polypectomy. The adenoma detection rate at the first colonoscopy was 25%. Although there was no difference in the completion and complication rates based on differences in the colonoscopy experience of the endoscopist, the detection rate of adenomas and intramucosal cancers was significantly higher with more experienced endoscopists. The proportion of patients developing cancer was significantly higher with a >24 months than a ≤24 months interval. Conclusion: High-volume experienced endoscopists and appropriate surveillance intervals may minimize the risk of developing colorectal cancers in patients with Lynch syndrome.
