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

We report 3 Japanese cases with increased colonic 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in association with melanosis coli. Case 1: A 56-year-old woman received 18-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) for comprehensive medical checkup. Case 2: A 79-year-old man received FDG-PET for follow-up evaluation for intestinal cancer. Case 3: A 51-year-old woman received FDG-PET for medical checkup. Each showed increased cecal and/or ascending colonic uptake without any colonic wall changes. Colonoscopy detected melanosis coli where FDG uptake was demonstrably increased. Neither malignancy nor inflammatory response was confirmed. Succeeding follow-ups showed neither malignant nor inflammatory lesions in any of the patients.
