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
Objective: The present study explored the feasibility and acceptability of a young adult community health advisor (YACHA)-led intervention among South Asians aged between 50 and 75 years in Hong Kong. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted from July to November 2022. Thirty-six eligible participants were randomized to either the YACHA-led intervention ( Results: A total of 36 eligible South Asian participants with a mean age of 56.00 years (SD = 5.53) participated in the study. The consent rate was 100.0%, and the overall dropout rate among the participants was 11.1%. The proposed YACHA-led intervention components were implemented as planned with the intended modality and frequency. More than 90% of the participants showed the acceptance of and satisfaction with a YACHA-led intervention that they received during the month-long process of undergoing colorectal cancer screening. Conclusions: The present study revealed that it was feasible to conduct a YACHA-led intervention to increase the utlization of colorectal cancer screening by eligible South Asians in Hong Kong. A full-scale study should be conducted to reveal its effects and to explore whether the participants would continue their participation in the colorectal cancer screening program and be screened for colorectal cancer annually or biannually, as recommended by the Hong Kong government. Trial registration: This study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200058241).
