Predictors of Colorectal Cancer Knowledge and Screening Among Asian Americans Aged 50-75 years old.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of mortality in the USA, can be prevented with colorectal cancer screening. However, many people who should receive the screening do not get screened. To learn more, this study estimated the prevalence of up-to-date colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and examined the relationship between CRC knowledge and screening compliance among Asian Americans living in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan area. The study included a cross-sectional sample of 274 Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans aged 50-75 years old. Participants completed a questionnaire regarding CRC knowledge in either their preferred native language or in English, and data were collected in person. The percentage of total participants with up-to-date overall CRC screening was 52.9%. Up-to-date fecal occult blood test (FOBT) screening was 15.0% and colonoscopy was 50.7%. The average CRC knowledge score was 6.10 out of 9 (SD = 2.91). Those with high education, high English proficiency, married, health insurance, and good physical health ratings had higher CRC knowledge. In multivariate analysis, CRC knowledge was significantly correlated with increasing up-to-date colonoscopy (aOR = 2.74, 1.13-6.64). Having health insurance (aOR = 4.40, 2.33-8.32) was another predictor of up-to-date colonoscopy. These findings suggest that CRC knowledge is a strong predictor of CRC screening behavior in Asian American populations. Lack of CRC screening knowledge still remains an important barrier to screening, and increased public awareness is necessary to achieve greater screening compliance.
