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 adenomas are considered a precursor of colorectal cancer. A 75-year-old woman had a history of post-operation left breast cancer. She received an excision when the left chest wall recurred. A later FDG PET/CT scan revealed a focal intense FDG accumulation in the sigmoid, a focal mild FDG uptake in the pericolic lymph node, and a focal increased FDG accumulation in the transverse colon. A delayed FDG PET/CT scan after the per-rectal administration of the laxative-augmented contrast medium revealed a filling defect with persistent FDG uptake in the sigmoid and transverse colon and mild FDG uptake in the pericolic lymph node. In addition, more lesions were observed in the rectum and descending colon. The pathology reports showed sigmoid adenocarcinoma with lymph node metastasis, and adenomas in the transverse colon, descending colon, and rectum.
