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.

Abstract

In Hawai'i, Native Hawaiian men (kāne) have the highest death rate from colon cancer among all ethnic groups. While screening can prevent 90% of these cancers, data show that >58% of kāne over age 50 have never been screened. Prior research has demonstrated that community-based social networks may help kāne adopt healthy behaviors such as cancer screening, however, few studies have activated such an approach. A cross-sectional study entitled No Ke Ola Pono o Nā Kāne (for the good health of men) was conducted statewide in Hawai'i from 2014 to 2018. The study strived to perpetuate the Native Hawaiian traditional practice of "hale mua" (men's house) to promote healthy behaviors among kāne including the adoption of colon cancer prevention strategies such as fecal immunochemical testing (FIT). The study applied a peer-led intervention model using kāne volunteers to deliver the program's educational components, including standardized materials to help the volunteers confidently conduct the sessions. Of the 378 kāne who were recruited into the study, 232 participated in the colorectal session of which 64% (
