Walking forward: a program designed to lower cancer mortality rates among American Indians in western South Dakota.
Article in South Dakota medicine : the journal of the South Dakota State Medical Association, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Walking Forward is a community-based participatory research program in western South Dakota funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The primary goal of this initiative is to address the high and ominously increasing cancer mortality rates among American Indians by facilitating access to innovative clinical trials, behavioral and genetic research and tailored patient navigation. The critical outcomes include: an unprecedented accrual rate of 25 percent in clinical trials, including cancer treatment and cancer control trials; a significant reduction in the number of missed treatment days among navigated American Indian cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy; and most importantly, establishment of trusting partnerships with the American Indian communities as reflected in enrollment in a genetic study involving the ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene. The results indicate that the Walking Forward approach presents an effective strategy to overcome the barriers to cancer care in this underserved community.
