Disparities in gastric cancer screening among people with disabilities: a national registry-linkage study in South Korea.
Article in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimUsing the national disability registration linked to the cancer screening database in Korea, we examined (1) trends in the gastric cancer screening rate among people with disabilities over time, and (2) whether gastric cancer screening participation and modalities differed according to presence, severity, and type of disability.
methodsWe examined gastric cancer screening participation rates among individuals with registered disability, from 2006 to 2015.
resultsThe age- and sex-adjusted rate for gastric cancer screening in people with disabilities increased from 25.9% in 2006 to 51.9% in 2015 (change: + 26.0%). During the same period, screening rates among people without disability improved from 24.7 to 56.5% (change: + 31.8%). Disability was associated with a screening rate [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.89, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.88-0.89]. Screening rates were markedly lower among people with severe disabilities (aOR 0.58, 95% CI 0.57-0.58) and people with autism (aOR 0.36, 95% CI 0.25-0.52), renal failure (aOR 0.39, 95% CI 0.38-0.39), brain injury (aOR 0.41, 95% CI 0.40-0.41), ostomy problems (aOR 0.53, 95% CI 0.51-0.55), intellectual disabilities (aOR 0.54, 95% CI 0.53-0.54), or mental disorders (aOR 0.55, 95% CI 0.54-0.56). The use of gastroscopy as the initial screening modality in people with disabilities was lower than in people without a disability.
conclusionsIn spite of the availability of national gastric cancer screening program, we found significant disparities in gastric cancer screening participation, especially among people with severe disabilities and those with renal failure or brain-related/mental disabilities.
