Diagnostic yield of the one-year surveillance colonoscopy after curative colorectal cancer resection.
Observational study in International journal of colorectal disease, 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
purposeGuidelines recommend routine colonoscopy 1 year after curative colorectal cancer resection, despite limited evidence supporting its diagnostic yield. This study evaluated the real-world outcomes of 1-year surveillance colonoscopy following colorectal cancer resection.
methodsThis is a retrospective observational study using pathology, clinic, and endoscopy data patients who underwent segmental oncologic resection for primary colon or rectal. Adenocarcinoma between January 2007 and June 2020 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Patients were excluded if they had a total proctocolectomy, if no follow-up colonoscopy data were available, or if the date of the first surveillance scope was < 6 months or > 24 months from surgery. Colonoscopy findings were categorized as adenocarcinoma, advanced adenoma, simple adenoma or normal.
resultsA total of 454 patients met the inclusion criteria. The 1-year surveillance colonoscopy detected 2 (0.44%) adenocarcinomas, 3 (0.66%) advanced adenomas, and 87 (19.2%) simple adenomas. The majority (n = 362, 79.7%) had normal colonoscopy results. Preoperative bowel preparation quality was not reported for either recurrent adenocarcinoma. Neither of the recurrent adenocarcinomas was associated with elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), abnormal imaging, or known hereditary cancer syndromes.
conclusionsOur data demonstrate a low observed rate of clinically significant findings at 1-year surveillance colonoscopy following colorectal cancer resection. Incomplete documentation of index colonoscopy quality limited assessment of whether surveillance findings represented true metachronous lesions or lesions missed at the preoperative examination. Given the low event rate and observational study design, these findings should be interpreted as descriptive real-world data regarding postoperative surveillance outcomes.
