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

<p>Introduction: This study investigated predictive factors associated with abnormal diagnostic findings of pediatric colonoscopies.

methodsThis retrospective study reviewed the medical records of children who underwent diagnostic colonoscopies between January 2004 and March 2025 at the University of Tokyo Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of abnormal colonoscopy findings, and patient backgrounds, clinical symptoms, endoscopic findings, and blood test results were compared between the groups.

resultsA total of 112 colonoscopies were performed, among which 73 cases were the first procedure for diagnostic. Abnormal macroscopic and/or histopathological findings were identified in 36 cases within the diagnostic group. In the multivariable analysis, family history of inflammatory bowel disease or hereditary polyposis (odds ratio [OR]: 6.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.13-37.7], p = 0.035), serum hemoglobin (OR 0.68, 95% CI: [0.47-0.79], p = 0.005), and serum C-reactive protein (OR 1.04, 95% CI: [1.00-1.13], p = 0.043) was independent predictors of abnormal pediatric colonoscopy findings. The predictive model using these three factors was accurate, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of 0.737.

conclusionA detailed preliminary medical history, serum hemoglobin, and serum C-reactive protein may help predict the necessity of pediatric colonoscopy, potentially improving diagnostic efficiency. </p>.
