1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe 5-year survival rate for bowel cancer in Wales is poor and lags behind the rest of the UK. The aim of the pilot phase of the Moondance Schools Initiative was to develop, deliver and assess a bowel cancer learning module for secondary school students in South Wales. Ultimately, we aim to introduce this programme into the National Curriculum across Wales.

methodsTwo programmes regarding bowel cancer and screening were designed and delivered to a cohort of secondary school pupils in South Wales. This involved interactive teaching with patients and clinicians, practical sessions and live-streamed videos of bowel cancer surgery. Feedback regarding the events and bowel screening was collected from students and their families.

resultsThe programmes were delivered to 185 secondary school students and feedback was extremely positive. The students delivered a live event at the end of the programme to demonstrate their learning to their families and invited guests. Feedback from family members revealed that 100% of respondents were more likely to take a bowel screening test as a result of attending the event.

conclusionThis project established that a pilot to create young bowel screening ambassadors is feasible and was positively received by students, their families and the local community. Future work will disseminate the programme further and correlate changes in bowel screening participation in the local area as a result of these events.
