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

Introduction: Growing adoption of endoscopic procedures in clinical practice has gradually increase the detection rate of gastric polypoid lesions. Aim: To identify the epidemiologic characteristics of gastric polyps as well as changes of these parameters during a 15-year period. Material and methods: We reviewed all the upper endoscopies archived in our database reporting a polypoid lesion from 2003 to 2018. Demographic data, indication for endoscopy, morphological characteristics of polyps, histology, and presence of Results: A total of 989 (4.2%) patients from 23,668 reviewed were identified to harbour a polypoid lesion. Mean patient age was 63.2 years, with 58.8% being female. Most polyps (65.2%) were less than 5 mm in diameter and located in the fundus. Hyperplastic polyps (HPs) were the predominant type (28.6%) while fundic gland polyps (FGPs) were found in 24.1% of patients. Adenomas were the least common type (2.7%). Other pathology was identified in 43.3%. Comparison between the 2 periods revealed a rise of FGPs against HPs with a concomitant shift of location from antrum to fundus and an increase in the number of polyps per patient. Conclusions: FGPs and HPs were the most common polyps found in our cohort, with a change of their pattern during the 15 years. It is imperative to acknowledge the distinct characteristics of gastric polyps so as to properly assess the malignant potential that some of them, or their surrounding gastric mucosa, harbour.
