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

objectivesHereditary polyposis syndromes in children are rare, heterogeneous disorders associated with significant morbidity and long-term risk of malignancy. Current data on their presentation, management, and outcomes in pediatric populations remain limited.

methodsWe conducted a nationwide, multicenter, retrospective study that included children diagnosed with polyposis syndromes in eight pediatric gastroenterology centers in Israel. Demographic, genetic, clinical, endoscopic, and outcome data were collected.

resultsA total of 105 children were included: 30 with juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS), 26 with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), 19 with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, 16 with phosphatase and tensin homolog-hamartoma tumor syndrome, 8 with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome, 5 with hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome, and 1 with Lynch syndrome. The median age at diagnosis was 8 years (interquartile range 4.1-11.5). Overall, 43 (41%) were of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, and a family history of polyposis was present in 54 (51%). Genetic testing was performed in 91 (87%), identifying pathogenic variants in 77 (73%) of them. Gastrointestinal symptoms were reported in 60 (57%) and extra-intestinal manifestations in 48 (46%). Polyposis-related surgery was required in 22 (21%) children. Malignancy in eight children included two cases of colorectal carcinoma and glioblastoma multiforme, T cell lymphoma with Wilm's tumor, medulloblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, and abdominal adenocarcinoma. Three mortality events were recorded.

conclusionIsraeli children with hereditary polyposis syndromes present with diverse clinical and genetic features. Despite increasing use of genetic testing, morbidity and malignancy risks remain substantial, highlighting the need for early recognition, surveillance, and multidisciplinary care.
