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 significant lack of participation in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs in the United States limits the impact of screening to reduce morbidity and mortality. Recently a group of experts in CRC screening defined the Guiding Principles for Noninvasive Testing (GPNIT). GPNIT pathway is intended to serve as a step by step guide for study design to ultimately lead to implementation and integration of a potentially clinically appropriate CRC screening test. Multi-target stool DNA (MT-sDNA) test usage for CRC screening has increased significantly recently in the United States. Here, the key studies in the development of MT-sDNA as an emerging CRC screening test are placed in context of the GPNIT pathway for CRC screening test development. This case study is meant to be instructive for future test development in CRC screening to achieve ultimately clinically relevant future tests and improve the efficacy of CRC screening.
