Association of a Lung Screening Program Coordinator With Adherence to Annual CT Lung Screening at a Large Academic Institution.
Article in Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05066776 (Liquid Biopsy in Combination With PET/CT Versus PET/CT Alone in Diagnosis of Small Lung Nodules), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundDetection of early-stage lung cancer improves during subsequent rounds of screening with low-dose CT and potentially leads to saving lives with curative treatment. Therefore, adherence to annual lung screening is important. We hypothesized that adherence to annual screening would increase after hiring of a dedicated program coordinator.
methodsWe performed a mixed-methods study in a retrospective cohort of patients who underwent lung screening at our academic institution between January 1, 2014, and March 31, 2018. Patients with baseline lung screening examinations performed between January 1, 2014, and September 30, 2016, with Lung CT Screening Reporting & Data System 1 or 2 scores and a 12-month follow-up recommendation were included. We tracked patient adherence to annual follow-up lung screening over time (before and after hiring of a program coordinator) and conducted a cross-sectional survey of patients nonadherent to annual follow-up to elicit quantitative and qualitative feedback.
resultsOf the 319 patients who completed baseline lung screening with normal results, 189 (59%) were adherent to annual follow-up recommendations and 130 (41%) were nonadherent. Patient adherence varied over time: 21.7% adherence (10 of 46) before hiring a program coordinator and 65.6% adherence (179 of 273) after the program coordinator's hire date. Patients reported the following reasons for nonadherence to annual lung screening: lack of transportation, financial cost, lack of communication by physicians, and lack of current symptoms.
conclusionsAdherence to annual lung screening after normal baseline studies increased significantly over time. Hiring a full-time program coordinator was likely associated with this increased in adherence.
