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

objectiveTo investigate the accuracy of OC-Sensor and colorectal cancer screening in a population-based randomized controlled trial at Khon Kaen province, Thailand.

methodsThe MOOSE Guidelines for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Observational Studies was applied. Eligibility criteria were English language, hand searching was conducted using Medline databases from 2010 to 2021 for identify literatures reviews of OC-Sensor and colorectal cancer screening. The initials screen based on the research titles and abstracts, final screenings based on full-text reports. Synthesis the results with meta-analysis using fixed effect model, random effect model, determined statistically significant with p-value < 0.05.  Confirmed the pooled effect sizes of high heterogeneity by meta-regression including tested precision of each estimates by bubble plot using STATA version 14.

resultsMeta-regression showed sensitivity of OC- sensor = 72.54% (95% CI: 65.82-79.25), and specificity of OC- sensor = 89.59% (95% CI: 87.23-91.95).

conclusionsSample size and cut-off of fecal hemoglobin concentration in each study were differed but sub-group analysis and sensitivity analysis were not considered for this analysis because population, setting and location for detected cancer of included study are not differences. <br />.
