More Than a Health Fair: Preventive Health Care During COVID-19 Vaccine Events.
Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, facilities transformed some medical care to virtual appointments. There was a subsequent decline in chronic disease screening and management, as well as cancer screening rates. Observations: COVID-19 vaccine events offered an opportunity to provide face-to-face preventive care to veterans, and mobile vaccine events enabled us to reach rural veterans. In this quality improvement project, we partnered with state and community organizations to reach veterans at large vaccine events, as well as in rural sites and homeless housing. The program resulted in the successful provision of preventive care to 115 veterans at these events, with high follow-up for recommended medical care. In all, 404 clinical reminders were completed and 10 new veterans were enrolled for health care. Important clinical findings included an invasive colorectal cancer, positive HIV point-of-care test, diabetic retinal disease, uncontrolled hypertension, and depression. Conclusions: Vaccine events offer a venue for chronic disease screening, referral, and cancer screening.
