Improving colorectal cancer screening: a partnership between primary care practices and the American Cancer Society.
Trial report in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe American Cancer Society (ACS) is interested in facilitating colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in primary care.
methodsSimilar clinics were assigned randomly to 1 of 3 CRCS arms: (1) usual care, (2) exam-room posters designed by the ACS; and (3) posters plus patient reminder calls from an ACS volunteer.
resultsCompared to patients due for screening in Arm 1, the odds ratio for getting CRCS in Arm 2 was 1.04 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81-1.34), P value not significant; in Arm 3, it was 1.49 (95% CI, 1.16-1.90), P value < .001.
conclusionsExam-room posters plus patient reminder calls from the ACS can increase CRCS in primary care.
