Differences in colorectal cancer screening rates across income strata by levels of urbanization: results from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2013/2014).
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveCanadian colorectal cancer screening rates differ across income strata. In the United States, disparities across income strata worsen in rural areas. In Canada, differences in screening across income strata have not been explored by levels of urbanization. This project aimed to estimate up-to-date colorectal cancer (UTD-CRC) screening across income strata by levels of urbanization.
methodsData from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2013/2014) were used to estimate the prevalence of UTD-CRC screening by income quintiles for Canadians aged 50-74 years. UTD-CRC screening was defined as fecal occult blood testing within 2 years or colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy within 10 years before the survey. Levels of urbanization were defined per Statistics Canada Metropolitan Influenced Zone classifications. Weighted proportions of UTD-CRC screening were calculated and logistic regression was used to assess the effect of income by levels of urbanization.
resultsSelf-reported UTD-CRC screening prevalence among Canadians was 52.0%. UTD-CRC screening rates by income ranged from 47.8% (Q1-low) to 54.0% (Q5-high). Across all levels of urbanization, higher income was associated with increased odds of UTD-CRC screening compared to the lowest income quintile (Urban-OR DISCUSSION: Half of Canadians report UTD-CRC screening but across levels of urbanization, higher income was associated with higher screening rates. Efforts are needed to understand and address inequities, particularly among low-income populations.
