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

Purpose: Diagnostic value of Methane and Hydrogen Breath Test (MHBT) combined with intestinal flora detection in colorectal polyp screening. Methods: Retrospective inclusion of 196 patients who had completed MHBT with colonoscopy during the same period of time in the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), China, from January 2022 to December 2023, were divided into a control group (no polyps) and an observation group (with polyps, Results: The proportion of males (64.94 vs. 49.54%) and age (61.85 ± 12.38 vs. 52.47 ± 13.57 years) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( Conclusion: HBT provides a non-invasive strategy for colorectal polyp screening by capturing CH
