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

backgroundTraditional serrated adenoma (TSA) is a rare and precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer. The clinical and endoscopic differentiations between TSAs without dysplasia or adenocarcinoma (TSAOs) and TSAs with dysplasia or adenocarcinoma (TSADs) remain unclear.

aimTo evaluate the characteristics of colorectal TSAs and compare the characteristics of TSAOs with those of TSADs.

methodsThis retrospective study included 193 patients who underwent endoscopic resection and received a pathologic diagnosis of TSA. We reviewed the medical, endoscopic, and histopathologic records of patients who underwent endoscopic resection of TSAs between January 2010 and December 2023.

resultsTSAs were more frequently located in the rectosigmoid colon. Most TSAs had 0-Ip, 0-Isp, or 0-Is morphologies. The TSAD lesions were larger than TSAO lesions. TSAD lesions more commonly had a red color and an irregular border than TSAO lesions. TSAOs were usually treated using conventional endoscopic mucosal resection, whereas TSADs were treated using conventional endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, and surgery. Post-polypectomy bleeding was more common with TSADs than with TSAOs. Univariate analysis showed that gastrointestinal bleeding, red color, 0-IIa, irregular border, and lobular mucosal surface were significantly associated with TSADs. Multivariate analysis showed that gastrointestinal bleeding, an irregular border, and a lobular mucosal surface were significantly associated with TSADs.

conclusionTSAs with gastrointestinal bleeding, an irregular border, and a lobular mucosal surface are associated with an increased risk of dysplasia or adenocarcinoma.
