Adherence to 2020 US Multi-Society Task Force Guidelines for Post-Polypectomy Surveillance: a Multicenter Real-Time Analysis.

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
purposeThe U.S. Multi-Society Task Force (USMSTF) updated its 2020 guidelines to recommend less frequent post-polypectomy surveillance, yet premature colonoscopies remain common. Since the guidelines were published 5 years ago, we hypothesized that adherence has improved over time. We also aim to identify factors associated with non-adherence.
methodsThis was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of 452 patients. 1st surveillance colonoscopies performed between 2020 and 2025 were included. Findings from pathology reports for both index and first surveillance colonoscopies were recorded. We considered follow-up after identifying hyperplastic polyps (HPs), low-risk adenomas (LRAs), or high-risk adenomas (HRAs) (the most advanced lesion was considered to be the lesion for which surveillance was indicated). Procedures performed more than 6 months earlier or later than recommended were defined as early or late, respectively.
resultsEarly surveillance occurred in 58% (n = 262/452) of 1st surveillance colonoscopies, while late surveillance occurred in 13% (n = 59/452). Early surveillance was performed in 82% of patients with only hyperplastic polyps (OR 5.47, 95% CI 1.60-18.72), and 64% of patients with only LRAs (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.02-2.34). In contrast, patients with HRAs had delayed surveillance (OR 0.096, 95% CI 0.055-0.167). Early rates by year (2020-2025) were 46% (20/44), 50% (30/60), 57% (35/61), 70% (37/53), 51% (34/67), and 60% (100/167), respectively.
conclusionsFive years after the release of the 2020 USMSTF guidelines, adherence to recommended colonoscopy follow-up surveillance guidelines remains suboptimal. These findings highlight persistent gaps in guideline implementation.
