Cancer Screening Interventions in Indigenous Populations: A Rapid Review.
Review in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Cancer screening is an important component of a cancer control strategy. Indigenous people in Canada have higher incidence rates for many types of cancer, including those that can be detected early or prevented through organized screening programs. Increased participation and retention in cancer screening is critical to improved population health outcomes amongst Indigenous people. This rapid review evaluates cancer screening interventions published in the last six years. Included studies demonstrated increased participation in breast, colorectal, or cervical cancer screening programs in Indigenous populations or showed promise of increased participation based on the factors that influence people's screening practices, such as knowledge, attitude, or intent to screen. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guided the search strategy. The review identified 85 articles with 12 meeting the specified criteria: seven studies reported an increase in cancer screening participation and five studies reported improved knowledge, attitude, or intent to screen. The use of multiple culturally appropriate strategies in co-designed studies were the most effective. This review will be used to inform First Nations (FN) populations and Screening Programs in Alberta of potential strategies to address disparities identified through a recent data analysis comparing cancer screening and outcomes between FN and non-FN people.
