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

Lynch syndrome predisposes to a high risk of colorectal cancer and colonoscopy remains the primary preventive strategy. The prevention of colorectal cancer through colonoscopy relies on identifying and removing adenomas, the main precursor lesion. Nevertheless, colonoscopy is not an optimal strategy since post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer remains an important issue. In continuation of a 2021 journal review, the present article seeks to offer an updated perspective by examining relevant articles from the past 3 years. We place recent findings in the context of existing guidelines, with a specific focus on colonoscopy surveillance. Key aspects explored include colonoscopy quality standards, timing of initiation, and surveillance intervals. Our review provides a comprehensive analysis of adenoma-related insights in Lynch syndrome, delving into emerging technologies like virtual chromoendoscopy and artificial intelligence-assisted endoscopy. This review aims to contribute valuable insights into the topic of colonoscopy surveillance in Lynch syndrome.
