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 (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death among Latino men in the United States, yet they have low screening rates. This study explored barriers and facilitators of colonoscopy screening among Latino participants in a CRC screening promotion program. Six focus groups were conducted, in Spanish, with 45 Latino men, of which 28 had received and 17 had not received a colonoscopy. Analysis of the discussion transcripts identified barriers to CRC screening, facilitators to CRC screening, and recommendations for health information dissemination. There was consensus among all participants that they had not received adequate information on colonoscopy screening from their health care providers. Unscreened participants wanted more details about the colonoscopy procedure and bowel preparation. Screened men were more knowledgeable than unscreened men about CRC, the colonoscopy procedure, and the benefits of early detection. Participants also expressed their fears, concerns, and perceptions of stigma in relation to colonoscopy screening. They described family and personal testimonials as facilitators to engaging in colorectal cancer screening. Findings underscore the need for ongoing research and educational efforts to address personal and cultural stigma surrounding colonoscopy and CRC, particularly in underserved communities. Study findings also highlight the danger of missing out on opportunities to increase CRC screening when colonoscopy is the primary screening option offered. Additional research is needed to ensure trust in the health care system and to examine the effectiveness of testimonials on CRC screening among Latino men.
