The Appalachian Career Training in Oncology (ACTION) Program: Preparing Appalachian Kentucky High School and Undergraduate Students for Cancer Careers.
Article in Journal of STEM outreach, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
The Appalachian Career Training In ONcology or ACTION Program is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Youth Enjoy Science (YES) research education grant program that recruits and trains early-career undergraduate and high school students from underrepresented, socioeconomically distressed areas of Appalachian Kentucky in cancer research and outreach. The two-year program is a multifaceted experience that includes participation in cross-disciplinary, mentored cancer research projects. In addition to research projects, participants also shadow faculty mentors in clinical medical settings, engage in multiple types of educational activities, and participate in cancer-focused outreach projects within their communities. Participants also engage in peer-to-peer networking and receive career mentorship, training, and coaching. Highlights of program activities include a student-led photovoice project to promote cancer awareness and participant publications including a book featuring participant essays focused on their experiences and thoughts on cancer. Initial impact data show high school participants have a higher than state and county average four-year college-going rate and all undergraduate participants are gaining positive outcomes related to educational and career attainment. This article provides an overview of the significant benefits of the ACTION Program, the program's activities, and highlights from program implementation. Potential impacts of the program and barriers to implementation are also shared.
