Different effects of multiple health status indicators on breast and colorectal cancer screening in a nationally representative US sample.
Article in Cancer epidemiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 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
objectiveTo examine the independent associations between multiple health status indicators and breast and colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in a national US sample. STUDY DESIGN AND
settingAnalysis of cross-sectional data from the 2005 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) involved 5115 men and 7100 women aged 50 years and older. MEASURES: Health status indicators included: self-reported perceived health status, number of chronic conditions, and functional limitation due to a chronic condition. Individuals were considered adherent to CRCS guidelines if they reported having a home-based fecal occult blood test in the past year or endoscopy in the past 10 years. Women were adherent to breast cancer screening guidelines if they reported having a mammogram in the previous 2 years. Statistical analyses were conducted using SUDAAN software to account for the complex sampling of the NHIS survey. Logistic regression was used to examine associations between each of the health status indicators and screening adherence for CRCS and mammography and to calculate estimated screening rates.
resultsThe three health status indicators were independently and differentially associated with screening adherence. Poor perceived health was associated with lower mammography among women, whereas a greater number of chronic conditions were consistently associated with greater screening. In adjusted analyses, functional limitation was only significantly associated with greater CRCS among women.
conclusionsOur analyses included three common indicators of health status and provide new evidence of their complex associations with cancer screening. Future studies must examine the mechanisms by which these indicators influence screening recommendations and adherence among older adults over time.
