Clinical characteristics of symptomatic young patients with colonic adenomas.
Article in Annals of gastroenterology. 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: The incidence of colonic adenomas and colorectal cancer has been on the rise among young patients. In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of young patients (<50 years) with adenomatous polyps and to characterize those polyps. We also aimed to determine appropriate surveillance intervals for young patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients <50 years of age who had polypectomy of 1 or more adenomatous polyps on colonoscopy between 2008 and 2021. Patient demographics, colonoscopy indication and polyp characteristics were obtained from the chart. Timing and findings on surveillance colonoscopies were recorded. Results: A total of 610 patients were included: mean age 42.9±5.9 years, 61% males, body mass index 27.5±4.7 kg/m Conclusions: Patients aged <50 years with colonic adenomas were mostly males, overweight, and smokers. Further adenomas were found in 47% of surveillance colonoscopies, and most were encountered within 5 years. High rates of recurrent adenomas in people <50 years of age may warrant frequent surveillance.
