The Old: Is There Any Role for Screening Colonoscopy after the Age of 75? The Surgeon's Perspective.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Guidelines recommend individualized decision making for screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients after the age of 75 years due to low additional benefits. That should be taken with a grain of salt, as these recommendations are based on expert opinion and simulation models which do not consider (1) the differences in pathogenesis and cancer biology of CRC in elderly; (2) the risks of colonoscopy in this patient population; (3) and the impact of new surgical and nonsurgical therapies for CRC. In this review, our goal is to bring a surgeon's perspective to understand the role of screening colonoscopy in patients older than 75 years.
