Extracellular Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase as a Surrogate Marker of Prominent Malignant Potential in Colonic Polyps: A 2-Year Prospective Study.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimsThe implications of extracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT), a cancer metabokine, in colonic polyps remain uncertain.
methodsA 2-year prospective cohort study of patients who underwent colonoscopy was conducted. Biochemical parameters and serum eNAMPT levels were analyzed at baseline and every 24 weeks postpolypectomy. NAMPT-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs61330082, rs2302559, rs10953502, and rs23058539, were assayed.
resultsOf 532 patients, 80 (15%) had prominent malignant potential (PMP) in colonic polyps, including villous adenomas (n = 18, 3.3%), adenomas with high-grade dysplasia (n = 33, 6.2%), and adenocarcinomas (n = 29, 5.5%). Baseline associations were as follows: colonic polyp pathology (
conclusionWith a link to inflammation and lipid metabolism, along with its decreasing trend after polypectomy, serum eNAMPT may serve as a surrogate marker of PMP in colonic polyps. In situ probing of the NAMPT-associated pathway holds promise in attenuating PMP, as much of the eNAMPT likely originates from colonic polyps.
