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

Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndrome, caused by germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPV) in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Data on the spectrum of LS-associated variants in Slavic populations, including Serbia, remain limited. Given the high burden of CRC and endometrial cancer and the limited implementation of hereditary CRC screening, characterizing the spectrum of germline variants in clinically selected high-risk individuals is important for improving genetic testing strategies, risk assessment, and clinical management. Between 2018 and 2025, 176 individuals underwent germline testing for hereditary CRC syndrome based on the Amsterdam/Bethesda criteria, validated LS risk prediction models, and/or family history (FH). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed using the Illumina TruSight Hereditary Cancer Panel, and variants were classified according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines. PV/LPVs in MMR genes were identified in 27/176 (15.3%) and were associated with positive FH of LS-related tumors (
