Racial and ethnic variations in the effects of family history of colorectal cancer on screening compliance.
Article in Gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
BACKGROUND &
aimsIndividuals with a family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) have a higher risk of developing CRC than the general population, and studies have shown that they are more likely to undergo CRC screening. We assessed the overall and race- and ethnicity-specific effects of a family history of CRC on screening.
methodsWe analyzed data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey to estimate overall and race- and ethnicity-specific odds ratios (ORs) for the association between family history of CRC and CRC screening.
resultsThe unweighted and weighted sample sizes were 23,837 and 8,851,003, respectively. Individuals with a family history of CRC were more likely to participate in any form of screening (OR, 2.3; 95% confidence limit [CL], 1.7, 3.1) and in colonoscopy screening (OR, 2.7; 95% CL, 2.2, 3.4) than those without a family history, but this association varied among racial and ethnic groups. The magnitude of the association between family history and colonoscopy screening was highest among Asians (OR, 6.1; 95% CL, 3.1, 11.9), lowest among Hispanics (OR, 1.4; 95% CL, 0.67, 2.8), and comparable between non-Hispanic whites (OR, 3.1; 95% CL, 2.6, 3.8) and non-Hispanic blacks (OR 2.6; 95% CL, 1.2, 5.7) (P for interaction < .001).
conclusionsThe effects of family history of CRC on participation in screening vary among racial and ethnic groups, and have the lowest effects on Hispanics, compared with other groups. Consequently, interventions to promote CRC screening among Hispanics with a family history should be considered.
