A colorectal cancer screening program in an underserved, ethnically diverse population in Chicago, IL.

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
The purpose of this project was to describe the structure and outcomes of a colorectal cancer screening program at CommunityHealth, the largest free health clinic in Illinois. We conducted a retrospective observational study using administrative clinical data from 2006 to 2011. A total of 4,026 patients were eligible for colorectal cancer screening of which 2,418 (60.0 %) completed fecal occult blood testing (FOBT). Subsequently, 1,657 patients had negative FOBT results and 1,365 patients underwent on-site flexible sigmoidoscopy. Over 90 % of patients had never had a prior screening examination. A majority of patients were female (61.7 %) and self-identified as Mexican (37.5 %) or Polish (28.2 %). A total of 203 biopsies were performed resulting in the detection of 69 adenomas (5.0 %) and 1 adenocarcinoma (0.1 %). A comprehensive colorectal cancer screening program was successfully implemented in a large community health center serving a population of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds without prior access to screening. This program could serve as model for colorectal cancer screening in diverse, low resource communities.
