Metabolic-Behavioral Risk Factors for Colorectal Adenomatous Polyps in Young Adults.
Article in Clinical and experimental gastroenterology, 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
Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with colorectal adenomatous polyps in young adults (≤40 years) to support early prevention and screening strategies for colorectal cancer. Methods: We conducted a study involving 805 young patients who underwent colonoscopy at the Endoscopy Center of The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, China, from September 2023 to January 2025. Among them, 288 patients had at least one pathologically confirmed adenomatous polyp (cases), and 517 patients with no detected polyps served as controls. Data on demographics, lifestyle habits (smoking, alcohol use), metabolic parameters, and hematological indices were collected and analyzed. Results: Several factors were significantly associated with an increased risk of adenomatous polyps, including male sex, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, elevated body mass index, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Multivariate analysis further identified hypertension, alcohol use, and higher red blood cell count as independent risk factors. Conversely, female sex and higher HDL-C levels were found to be protective. Conclusion: The development of colorectal adenomatous polyps in young adults is strongly linked to modifiable risk factors such as hypertension and alcohol consumption, as well as elevated red blood cell counts. These findings highlight the importance of addressing cardiovascular and metabolic health, along with lifestyle modifications, in early screening and prevention programs for high-risk young individuals.
