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

Colonic lipomas are benign masses typically found incidentally during routine screening exams. They rarely grow large enough to become symptomatic. While most colonic lipomas are small and do not lead to complications, giant lipomas can present with symptoms ranging from changes in bowel patterns and mild abdominal pain to bowel obstruction. Ulcerated giant colonic lipomas are even more rare findings on screening colonoscopies. Diagnosis in this context can be challenging, and resection is warranted in most cases. Here, we describe an asymptomatic patient who presented for a screening colonoscopy and was found to have a giant ulcerated colonic lipoma.
