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

Objective: False negatives in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening remained a widespread concern, particularly given the notable incidence of false negative results from fecal immunochemical test (FIT). We aimed to investigate the missed diagnoses resulting from primary screening conducted in China that combined the high risk factor questionnaire (HRFQ) with double FITs. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Yuexiu district of Guangzhou. Among 69,809 eligible participants who completed the primary screening between 2015 and 2021, we focused on the analysis of 527 subjects who had negative primary screening but underwent colonoscopy. Results: These individuals showed statistically comparable prevalence of overall colorectal neoplasms (CRN), advanced colorectal neoplasms (ACRN), and CRC in comparison with those having positive primary screening results (all Conclusions: Subjects with negative primary screening results but having active screening willingness should consider an earlier colonoscopy due to HRFQ's limited risk predictive ability for colorectal lesions, highlighting an urgency in re-assessment and improvement of the CRC risk scoring system.
