Improving care for Lynch syndrome patients: integrating surveillance into England's national bowel cancer screening programme.
Review in Familial cancer, 2026. 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
Quality assurance, timeliness and equity of access to colonoscopy for people with Lynch syndrome (LS) in England has historically been highly variable. The LS-Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (LS-BCSP) launched in July 2023, delivers high quality colonoscopy to the average-risk population, from colonoscopists who have undergone high-level accreditation, utilising the existing average-risk BCSP infrastructure. Eligible individuals have a genetic diagnosis of LS. Comprehensive retrospective diagnoses of LS in England (since the 1990s) were ascertained from 17 regional genetics services. The National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) developed a registry of eligible individuals, and a portal for prospectively diagnosed cases. An existing national screening IT framework was adapted to incorporate disease-specific clinical pathway information, linked to existing national guidelines. Nationally standardised training for BCSP teams was delivered to > 2000 staff from 64 national screening centres in 2023. By November 2024, 10,913 eligible individuals were identified, with 150–250 new diagnoses added each month. A historical backlog of > 1000 patients overdue colonoscopy surveillance was cleared by January 2024. Diagnostic outcomes of LS patients from the first two years of LS-BCSP will be available to facilitate evaluation of the successes and failures of the LS_BCSP. This evaluation will include diagnostic outcomes, stratified by demographic and socioeconomic status, genotype, measures of colonoscopy quality and regional variation. This novel programme includes complete ascertainment of the national LS population in England, without requirement for referral. Individuals with LS now have access to high-quality, timely colonoscopy through an accredited programme which is quality-assured along the entire pathway.
