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

Colorectal lipomas are benign tumors that are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. In most cases, they can be managed conservatively with observation. We report the case of a man in his 70s with a colorectal lipoma located in the cecum. An investigation into his severe anemia led to the suspicion that the cecal lipoma was the underlying cause. An ileocecal resection was performed. Erosions were observed at the center of the lipoma. Although small colorectal lipomas are generally asymptomatic and rarely cause anemia, periodic endoscopic examinations are recommended. These lesions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
