Lynch syndrome in Mexican-Mestizo families: Genotype, phenotypes, and challenges in cascade testing among relatives at risk.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most frequent cancer predisposition syndrome affecting the colon and rectum. A pathogenic variant (PV) disrupting one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes is responsible for the disease. The spectrum of tumors in LS is heterogeneous and includes cancer of the colon and rectum (CRC), endometrium, ovaries, stomach, small bowel, urinary tract, bladder, pancreas, and skin. Knowledge of the phenotypic variation of patients with LS, the type and frequency of PVs, and cascade testing studies in the Latin American population is limited. The present study aims to recognize the PVs in MMR genes, describe the phenotype in Mexican-Mestizo patients and their relatives, and identify the acceptance rate of cascade testing of relatives at risk. We included 40 carriers of a MMR gene PV and 142 relatives that developed a LS-related neoplasm. Patients' clinical data, number, and type of malignancies were obtained from their medical records. Amsterdam I-II, Bethesda criteria, and PREMM5® predictive model score were estimated. Available immunohistochemistry (IHC) reports were analyzed. Relatives at risk were determined from index cases pedigrees. The distribution of MMR gene mutations among 40 probands was:
