Colorectal cancer screening among Korean Americans: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of community health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 5 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
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) among Korean Americans (KAs) has increased in recent years, even as the rate in nearly ever other population group in the United States has decreased. Reversing this trend will require improving screening rates, but a variety of sociocultural factors may inhibit this goal. We conducted a systematic review of the published literature on cancer screening among KAs, and identified thirteen eligible studies that examined CRC screening. KAs have CRC screening rates that are significantly lower than the national average. Only about one in four KAs ages 50 and older reports having ever had a fecal ocult blood test (FOBT) and only about 40 % have ever had a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. KA adults are also significantly less likely than the general US population to say they have heard of FOBT, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy. In the KA population, screening rates are higher among adults with higher socioeconomic status, greater acculturation to the United States, more cancer knowledge, more social support, and better access to healthcare services. Improving cultural and financial access to health education and healthcare services may increase CRC screening among KAs and reduce the incidence of the disease.
