Impact of a literacy-sensitive intervention on CRC screening knowledge, attitudes, and intention to screen.
Article in The Journal of community and supportive oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates remain low, especially among low-income populations.
objectiveTo determine if a CRC screening intervention (video, brochure) improves knowledge about CRC and CRC screening, attitudes toward screening, and intention to complete CRC screening among average-risk adults with different health literacy skills, seeking medical care at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC).
methodsAverage-risk adults (50 years or older) who were not within CRC screening guidelines completed face-to-face pre-and post-intervention interviews that focused on knowledge about CRC and CRC screening, attitudes toward CRC screening, and intention to complete CRC screening.
resultsOf the 270 participants, 64% were women, 72% were black/African American, 86% were not married, 79% had an annual household income of <$20,000, and 57% did not have health insurance. Reading levels by Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine health literacy test were: 3rd grade or lower, 17 participants (6.3%); 4th-6th grade, 27 (10.0%); 7th-8th grade, 101 (37.4 %); and high school, 125 (46.3%). CRC screening knowledge mean score improved, and perceived CRC susceptibility and self-efficacy to complete screening significantly increased, irrespective of health literacy (all LIMITATIONS: The study was conducted in a single FQHC, so the results may not be generalizable to other health centers or populations of low-income and minority patients.
conclusionA CRC screening intervention improved CRC screening knowledge and attitudes across levels of health literacy and may be an important strategy for improving CRC screening in the primary care setting.
