Oral cancer awareness among community-dwelling senior citizens in Illinois.
Article 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 6 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
The study assessed participant awareness of oral cancer (OC), risk factors, signs and symptoms, and history of an OC screening exam and whether a relationship exists between these factors and the participant's age, level of education, socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity, and gender. It was a descriptive survey research with a non-randomized sample. Participants were a convenience sample of seniors participating in a congregate dining program of the DuPage County Senior Citizens Council. Data was collected through a written, self-administered survey. Sixty-two surveys were completed, with an overall response rate of 66%. A statistically significant relationship was found between the level of education and awareness of OC risk factors (r = 0.26; P = 0.04). An inverse relationship was found between the level of education and the level of OC awareness questions, "have you ever heard about OC?" (r = -0.37; P = 0.004), and "how much do you know about OC?" (r = 0.35; P = 0.008). A trend toward significance was noted for the level of education and awareness of OC signs and symptoms (r = 0.24; P = 0.06). The levels of OC awareness in the seniors were lower than the general population. Seniors in the lower SES strata and who have low education levels are of particular concern, and it is important to conduct further studies tailored towards populations with these combined factors. Additional research is needed to determine how to best communicate OC awareness and implement programs specifically for this high-risk group.
