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

A solitary Peutz-Jeghers (PJ) polyp is a rare hamartomatous lesion without an associated PJ syndrome. However, little is known regarding malignancy arising in solitary PJ polyps. Here, we report a case of a solitary colonic PJ polyp with focal dysplasia. A 45-year-old asymptomatic man underwent total colonoscopy following a positive fecal occult blood test. The patient had no history of mucocutaneous pigmentation or family history of PJ syndrome. A 20 mm erythematous pedunculated polyp was observed in the sigmoid colon. Magnified endoscopy revealed a tubular or branch-like pit pattern with localized areas of irregular pits. These findings were suggestive of colorectal adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, and endoscopic mucosal resection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed arborizing proliferation of hyperplastic epithelia with smooth muscle bundles. In addition, a small number of irregular crypts with high-grade dysplasia were observed in the hyperplastic epithelium. Based on these histological findings, we finally diagnosed the patient with a solitary colonic PJ polyp with high-grade dysplasia. The present case suggests that solitary colonic PJ polyps may harbor dysplastic changes and require pathological evaluation with en bloc resection of the polyps.
