Adherence to Guideline-Recommended Cancer Screening in Stroke Survivors: A Nationwide Analysis.
Article in Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesCancer can present as stroke. Several cancer types have established screening guidelines. We investigated adherence to guideline-recommended cancer screening in stroke survivors versus the general population. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis using 2012-2018 data from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. BRFSS is a nationally-representative telephone survey of non-institutionalized Americans that collects data about health conditions and behaviors, including cancer screening. We defined guideline-recommended colorectal, lung, and breast cancer screening based on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations. We used survey-specific methods to estimate up-to-date screening rates for those with and without prior stroke. We used logistic regression to estimate the odds of up-to-date screening in stroke survivors compared to those without history of stroke after adjustment for potential confounders.
resultsAmong 1,018,440 respondents eligible for colorectal cancer screening, 66% were up-to-date. Among 6,880 respondents eligible for lung cancer screening, 16% were up-to-date. Among 548,434 women eligible for breast cancer screening, 78% were up-to-date. After adjustment for demographics and confounders, stroke survivors were more likely to have up-to-date colorectal cancer screening (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.05-1.16), equally likely to undergo lung cancer screening (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.62-1.59), and less likely to undergo breast cancer screening (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80-0.94).
conclusionsIn a nationwide analysis, stroke survivors had similar suboptimal adherence to guideline-recommended cancer screening as the general population.
