Third Annual Fecal Occult Blood Testing in Community Health Clinics.
Trial report in American journal of health behavior, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 4 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
objectivesOur objective was to determine the effectiveness of 3 approaches to encourage completion of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) in the third year of the intervention.
methodsBetween 2008 and 2011, a quasi-experimental intervention was conducted in 8 predominantly rural Federally Qualified Health Centers. Clinics were randomly assigned to enhanced care (screening recommendation and FOBT kit mailed annually), education (patients additionally received a health literacy appropriate pamphlet and simplified FOBT instructions), or nurse support (same as education but with nurse follow-up). Participants included 206 patients with negative FOBTs in years 1 and 2; ages 50-85, 80% female, 70% African American, and 52% had limited health literacy. The main outcome measure was completion of a third annual FOBT.
resultsThird-year FOBT rates were 48% overall, 34.2% enhanced care, 59.6% education, and 47.4% nurse support (p = .21), even after adjustment for sex, marital status, and health literacy.
conclusionAll mailed interventions were similarly effective in sustaining rates of FOBT screening. Post hoc analyses of the results analyzed by health literacy skills found that patients with both limited and adequate health literacy skills were more likely to complete FOBTs when mailed simplified instructions.
