Appropriateness of Recommendations for Surveillance Colonoscopy After Polypectomy-A Comparison of Adherence to the 2012 and 2020 USMSTF Guidelines.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
purposeThe U.S. Multi-Society Task Force (USMSTF) has recommended surveillance intervals that weigh the benefits, harms, and costs of colonoscopy. In 2020, it updated its screening recommendations, and we want to evaluate clinical practice adherence to recommended guideline intervals.
methodsA prospective analysis was performed to examine gastroenterologists' recommendations for screening and surveillance colonoscopy from March 2012 to December 2023. Procedures with unknown histology or unsatisfactory bowel preparation were excluded. We compared polyp morphology, histology, and subsequent recommendations made by gastroenterologists to the USMSTF guidelines.
resultsFive hundred thirteen patients and 902 colonoscopies were included. For screening colonoscopies, 200/231 (87%) followed 2012 guidelines, while 75% followed 2020 guidelines. For 1st surveillances, 75% followed 2012 guidelines, and 50% followed 2020 guidelines (p < 0.001). Adherence was also analyzed by year from 2020 to 2023. There were no significant differences in rates for screening colonoscopy and 1st surveillances over this time frame. Since the introduction of the 2020 guidelines for screening colonoscopies, there was a decrease in adherence by 13% for low-risk adenoma (LRA) and an 8% decrease for high-risk adenoma (HRA); there was a 7% increase in adherence for hyperplastic polyps (HP) and an 11% increase in adherence with sessile serrated polyps (SSP). For 1st surveillances, there was a decrease in adherence by 16% for LRA, 11% for HRA, 1% for HP, and 2% for SSP.
conclusionsSince the introduction of the 2020 guidelines, gastroenterologists are recommending colonoscopies more frequently than the guidelines call for. Increasing the evidence behind interval recommendations may increase guideline adherence.
