1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To evaluate the benefits of a PN program for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening at Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (CBWCHC) in New York City from June 2012 to May 2015, estimate the cost of implementation, and describe time allocation patterns of PN activities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants of the CBWCHC in 2015. The electronic PN database was used to evaluate the program's effectiveness. New York State Department of Health budgeting and cost data were used to estimate the implementation cost. Self-reported activities of PNs were used to analyze time allocation patterns. A total of 3723 screen-eligible patients were contacted by PNs and 2552 (68.5%) completed at least one CRC screening test. Of these, 266 (10.4%) patients were diagnosed with precancerous polyps and two patients were diagnosed with CRC. The CRC screening rate at CBWCHC increased from 56% to 60% during the program period. The total cost was estimated to be $295,296.51 (in 2014 dollar terms). Overall, this relatively inexpensive CRC screening PN program was effective in increasing CRC screening in a low-income Asian-American community.
