Learning to be More Positive About FIT.
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Systematic application of the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) as a screen for colorectal cancer has been shown to meaningfully impact colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. However, there is room for improvement. FIT performance is impacted by a host of patient level factors such as sex and medication use. Meta-analysis has defined those factors most likely to result in a false positive or false negative test. Further work determining how best to gather information on important factors and incorporate them into the FIT result will further enhance the accuracy and outcomes accomplished with this valuable screening test.
