Predictors of adherence to repeat fecal occult blood test in a population-based colorectal cancer screening program.
Article in British journal of cancer, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundSocio-economic, environmental factors and general practitioner (GP) involvement may influence adherence to repeat faecal occult blood testing (FOBT) of organised colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. The aim of the study was to identify predictors of adherence to repeat testing.
methodsThe populationcomprised people eligible for the third round of a CRC screening programme in a French district (n=118,905). Multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to identify individual and area-level characteristics associated with 'compliant participants' participating in the all three rounds vs 'occasional participants' participating in one or two rounds.
resultsCompared to 'occasional participants', 'compliant participants' were more likely to participate after receiving a FOBT kit from their GP (odds ratio (OR), 10.7; 95% CI, 10.01-11.5) vs FOBT received at home, and were less likely to live in socio-economically deprived areas (OR, 0.75; 0.70-0.80) and urban areas (OR, 0.94; 0.88-1.00).
conclusionsAs for a screening round participation, strategies aimed at improving the participation to a screening programme should target GPs and people living in socially deprived areas.
