Do surface morphology and pit pattern have a role in predicting cancer for colon polyps in North America?
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe surface morphology of colorectal polyps is well correlated with submucosal invasion in Eastern Countries but not in North America. We aimed to investigate associations between the Paris classification, surface morphology, and Kudo pit pattern to submucosal invasion in advanced endoscopic resection techniques.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data of consecutive advanced endoscopic procedures conducted by a single surgeon between August 2017 and October 2018. The data included patients' demographics, the endoscopic finding of polyps (Paris, Kudo, and surface morphology), and pathology results.
resultsThe study consisted of 138 lesions, and the mean age was 67 ± 10 years. The most common polyp locations were cecum (n = 41, 30%) followed by ascending colon (n = 28, 20%), and sigmoid colon (n = 18, 13%).The median polyp size was 30 mm (25-40). The en-bloc resection rate was 96%, and 11 (8%) polyps had adenocarcinoma with submucosal invasion. Nine patients (6.5%) had late bleeding, and 3 (2.2%) perforation occurred. Polyps with pit pattern of Kudo IV (n = 4, 36.4%) and Kudo V (n = 6, 54.5%) were associated with submucosal invasion.
conclusionsSurface morphology and pit pattern can predict submucosal invasion in the North American patient population. Polyp morphology may aid polyp selection for advanced endoscopic interventions.
