Positive Predictive Value for Multitarget Stool DNA After Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 AND
aimsBariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) may adversely affect noninvasive stool tests for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening through several mechanisms. Multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) is approved for CRC screening; however, performance in post-BMS patients is unknown. As the rates of BMS are anticipated to increase with rising incidence of obesity, it is important to evaluate mt-sDNA test performance among these patients.
methodsIn a multisite academic and community-based practice, we obtained mt-sDNA results from 10/2014 to 12/2019 through electronic records and an institutional BMS registry. Average CRC risk patients with BMS prior to a positive mt-sDNA underwent a detailed chart review. Follow-up colonoscopy findings were compared to those among BMS patients screened with colonoscopy alone and a historical cohort of patients without BMS, screened by mt-sDNA. The primary study endpoint was the positive predictive value (PPV) for advanced colorectal neoplasia.
resultsAmong 336 average-risk patients who had mt-sDNA after BMS, mt-sDNA was positive in 49 (14.6%), 47/49 (96%) underwent follow-up colonoscopy, and the PPV for advanced neoplasia was 12/47 (25.5%). This is similar to the PPV for advanced colorectal neoplasia (425/1542, 28%) in a historical cohort of persons without prior BMS, screened by mt-sDNA at our center (
conclusionDespite anatomic and physiologic mechanisms that could alter blood or DNA content in stool, BMS does not appear to adversely affect the PPV of mt-sDNA.
