Assessing Suitability of a Colorectal Cancer Screening Program in Oman.
Review in Cureus, 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
Colorectal cancer is among the most common cancers globally and carries a high mortality rate. The incidence of colorectal cancer has been increasing in the Middle East, including in Oman. While many countries have implemented a bowel cancer screening program, Oman has yet to establish one. A standard tool for bowel cancer screening is a fecal immunochemical test where a fecal sample is sent to a laboratory to check for blood content in the feces. In Oman, such fecal test kits are available at the primary health care level, but primary care physicians were unaware of the signs and symptoms or screening methods for colorectal cancer. This review article aims to assess the suitability of a colorectal cancer screening program in Oman using guidelines from the Supporting the Use of Research Evidence (SURE) collaboration.
