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

backgroundThe incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and CRC-related mortality among young adults (< 50 years) has been on the rise. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reduced the CRC screening age to 45 in 2018. Few studies have examined the barriers to CRC screening among young adults.

methodsAnalyses were conducted using data from 7,505 adults aged 45-75 years who completed the 2018 to 2020 Health Information National Trends Survey. We examined the sociodemographic characteristics associated with CRC screening overall and by age group using separate multivariable logistic regression models.

results76% of eligible adults had received screening for CRC. Increasing age, Black racial group [OR 1.45; 95% CI (1.07, 1.97)], having some college experience, a college degree or higher [OR 1.69; 95% CI (1.24, 2.29)], health insurance coverage [OR 4.48; 95% CI (2.96, 6.76)], primary care provider access [OR 2.48; 95% CI (1.91, 3.22)] and presence of a comorbid illness [OR 1.39; 95% CI (1.12, 1.73)] were independent predictors of CRC screening. Current smokers were less likely to undergo CRC screening [OR 0.59; 95% CI (0.40, 0.87)]. Among adults aged 50-64 years, being of Hispanic origin [OR 0.60; 95% CI (0.39, 0.92)] was associated with a lower likelihood of CRC screening.

conclusionCRC screening rates among adults 45-49 years are low but are increasing steadily. Odds of CRC screening among Blacks is high which is encouraging while the odds among current smokers is low and concerning given their increased risk of developing CRC.
