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

backgroundThere are lesions that are still being missed in colonoscopy. Many of those could be superficially elevated serrated lesions or depressed ones.

aimsThe aim of this study was to compare the histopathological characteristics of these lesions and their risks for submucosal carcinoma.

methodsThis is a retrospective, cross-sectional, and observational study comparing 217 superficially elevated serrated lesions larger than 5 mm resected by colonoscopies (G1) with 558 depressed lesions (G2).

resultsIn G1, 217 lesions were found in 12,653 (1.7%) colonoscopies; in G2, 558 lesions were found in 36,174 (1.5%) colonoscopies. In G1, 63.4% were women and in G2, there was no gender predominance. The average size of G1 was 16.2 mm and G2 was 9.2 mm (p<0.001). G1 predominated on the proximal colon and G2 on the distal and rectum (p<0.001). In G1, there were 214 (98.6%) low-grade intramucosal neoplasia and 3 (1.4%) high-grade intramucosal neoplasia. Excluding 126 hyperplastic polyps and considering 91 sessile serrated adenomas in G1, we observed 88 (96.7%) low-grade intramucosal neoplasia and 3 (3.3%) high-grade intramucosal neoplasia; in G2, we observed 417 (74.7%) low-grade intramucosal neoplasia, 113 (20.3%) high-grade intramucosal neoplasia, and 28 (5.0%) submucosal adenocarcinomas (p<0.001).

conclusionDepressed lesions significantly had more high-grade intramucosal neoplasia and more invasive carcinomas in the submucosal layer than superficially elevated serrated lesions and more than superficially elevated sessile serrated adenomas.
