The influence of gender on colorectal cancer knowledge, screening intention, perceived risk and worry among African Americans in South Florida.

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 aim of this study was to examine if gender differences exist for colorectal cancer (CRC) knowledge, intention to screen, perceived risk and cancer worry among African Americans for CRC. African American males and females (N = 336) aged 45 years or older living in southeast Florida were recruited to participate in a cross-sectional survey that assessed intentions to screen as well as CRC knowledge, cancer worry, perceived risk. No significant differences were found between men and women in their intention to screen for CRC or in their worry about cancer. Results did suggest that men and women differed significantly about their understanding of CRC knowledge. Findings also showed that there were differences in perceived risk between genders, with female study participants possessing lower levels of risk than men. Study results suggest that future interventions need to ensure that females understand their risk for CRC and understand the benefits associated with CRC screening. Findings also suggest that interventions promoting CRC screening may need to be tailored if increased participation in CRC screening is to be achieved for women.
