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
Our study aimed to estimate how associations between adults' perceptions of specific domains of PPC quality and their likelihood of receiving cancer screenings differed by race and ethnicity. We analyzed 2011-2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data. Samples included 7337 women ages 50-74 (breast), 13,276 women ages 21-65 (cervical), and 9792 adults ages ≥50 years (colorectal). To examine individual domains of PPC quality (independent variables), adults reported how often providers: listened; showed respect; spent enough time; explained things; gave specific instructions; and demonstrated health literate practices (gave clear instructions and asked them to "teach-back" how they will follow instructions). Dependent variables were breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the odds of receiving cancer screenings using a composite measure of PPC quality and separate domains. Hispanic and non-Hispanic black adults who reported their providers always demonstrated PPC quality had higher odds of receiving colorectal cancer screenings compared to those whose providers did not. Adults' perceptions of whether or not their provider gave them specific instructions increased their odds of receiving breast (Hispanics OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.09, 2.51; non-Hispanic blacks OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.06, 2.24) and colorectal (non-Hispanic whites OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.13, 1.66; Hispanics OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.01, 1.66; non-Hispanic blacks OR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.39, 2.65) cancer screenings. Non-Hispanic Asian women who reported their health care providers demonstrated "teach-back" had higher odds (OR = 2.25; 95% CI = 1.10, 4.62) of receiving cervical cancer screenings. Efforts to improve cancer screenings should focus on training providers to demonstrate health literate practices to improve cancer screenings.
