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

Background: A stool methylated syndecan-2 (me Methods: This study is a prospective, single-centre study. We recruited patients with 13 different types of cancers, including CRC, as positive control. Excluding those with CRC, participants did not undergo colonoscopy. Stool samples were collected from each patient before starting definitive therapy for each cancer and sent to the central lab for methylation analysis. We investigated the cancer incidence rates based on Korean cancer statistics to infer the predicted positivity rates for each cancer type. Results: A total of 168 patients with 13 different types of cancer were included in the study. The positive rate for patients with CRC was 89.5% (17/19). The next highest positive rate was observed in biliary tract cancer at 44.4% (4/9), with the lowest rates being observed in breast cancer at 12.5% (1/8), and in ureter cancer at 12.5% (1/8).
