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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the potential role of OM-85 in reducing polyp recurrence (PR).

methodsA single-center randomized, prospective study was performed to compare the inter-group PR rate, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), CT and endoscopic scores. Hundred patients were randomized to receive either add-on OM-85 (34/50) or control group (43/50); 77 participants completed the 12-month follow-up. The OM-85 group received oral treatment for 10 days, followed by a 20-day washout (Months 1-3 and 7-9). Primary outcome was the PR rate. Secondary outcomes included PROMs, Lund-Kennedy (L-K) scores, Lund-Mackay (L-M) scores, and complete blood count (CBC) parameters.

resultsThe PR rate was significantly lower in the OM-85 group (8.82%) than in the control group (27.91%, χ

conclusionAdjuvant OM-85 may reduce postoperative PR, with improved endoscopic and symptom scores, potentially mediated by enhanced systemic immune function. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2:
