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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is more prevalent in south-central Asian countries, particularly the Afghan population. Screening for CRC in the Afghan population has always been challenging, primarily due to the tribal and social cultures, lack of facilities, and lack of education. The United States (US) will soon face a significantly massive influx of Afghan refugees. It becomes imperative to initiate and implement effective measures regarding CRC screening in these refugee populations. The current review article aims to identify the most likely challenges faced for CRC screening in this Afghan refugee population in the US and address the possible measures to overcome these challenges.
