Epidemiology and risk factors of colorectal polyp detection: a regional, single-center retrospective study.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. 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
backgroundColorectal polyps are the most important precursor lesions of colorectal cancer. Their epidemiological characteristics and risk factors exhibit substantial regional and population-based variations. Qinghai Province, located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, is characterized by a unique hypoxic environment and a multi-ethnic population. However, large-scale epidemiological data on colorectal polyps in this region is limited.
objectiveTo characterize the detection rate, temporal trends, demographic distribution, and risk factors for colorectal polyps in Qinghai Province.
designRetrospective study.
settingA single tertiary medical center in Qinghai Province, China. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe enrolled 33059 patients who underwent colonoscopy at Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital (2021-2025). Data on demographics and endoscopic findings were collected. Temporal trends were analyzed using the linear-by-linear association LLA test, and independent risk factors were identified by binary logistic regression.
main outcome measuresColorectal polyp detection rate and risk factors. SAMPLE SIZE: 33059 patients.
resultsThe overall colorectal polyp detection rate was 31.82% (10519/33059), with a slight upward trend over the study period. Rates were significantly higher in males (39.01%) than females (24.04%) and increased sharply with age. Multivariable analysis identified male sex (OR=2.493, 95 %CI:2.106-2.950,
conclusionsColorectal polyp detection is high and rising in Qinghai. Male sex and advanced age are major risk factors. Notably, Tibetan or Hui ethnicity appear as potential protective factors, offering new insights into genetic interactions that may inform region-specific screening strategies. LIMITATIONS: Single-center retrospective design, potential selection bias, lack of lifestyle and metabolic data.
