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 cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadliest cancers worldwide, and incidence rates are rising. However, early detection and intervention can improve the survival rates and quality of life of affected patients. Current screening tests used to streamline patients into colonoscopy either lack test adherence or sensitivity for detecting premalignant and early-stage CRC, reducing the advantages of screening measures. Cost-effective and minimally invasive diagnostic tests which can detect immune system and metabolic changes are key to lower the incidence of CRC advanced stages. We herein discuss the statistics, risk factors and unique genetic characteristics of CRC, focussing on the importance of understanding non tumour-derived information in premalignant states for developing comprehensive techniques to achieve earlier diagnosis of CRC. Moreover, the advantages and limitations of current UK and USA screening programmes and emerging detection tools are discussed, along with prospective diagnostics such as genomics, proteomics and spectroscopy.
