Factors Affecting Adherence to National Colorectal Cancer Screening: A 12-Year Longitudinal Study Using Multi-Institutional Pooled Data in Korea.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundConsistent uptake of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is important to reduce the incidence and mortality from advanced-stage CRC and increase the survival rate of the patients. We conducted a longitudinal study to determine the factors affecting CRC screening compliance in Korean adults using individual-level linked data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Korean National Health Insurance Service, and Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.
methodsWe selected 3,464 adults aged 50-79 years as the study population and followed them for 12 years (January 2007-December 2018). The outcome variable was the level of adherence to CRC screening, categorized as nonadherent, intermittently adherent, and consistently adherent. An ordinal logistic regression model was designed to determine the socioeconomic factors, family history of CRC, and medical conditions that could facilitate the consistent uptake of CRC screening.
resultsThe results showed a significant and positive association between consistent uptake of CRC screening and the 100-150% income category (odds ratio [OR], 1.710; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.401-2.088); clerical, sales and service job category (OR, 1.962; 95% CI, 1.582-2.433); residency at medium-sized cities (OR, 1.295; 95% CI, 1.094-1.532); high-school graduation (OR, 1.440; 95% CI, 1.210-1.713); married status (OR, 2.281; 95% CI, 1.946-2.674); use of employment-based national health insurance (OR, 1.820; 95% CI, 1.261-2.626); use of private insurance (OR, 2.259; 95% CI, 1.970-2.589); no disability (OR, 1.428; 95% CI, 1.175-1.737); family history of CRC (OR, 2.027; 95% CI, 1.514-2.714); and history of colorectal neoplasm (OR, 1.216; 95% CI; 1.039-1.422).
conclusionThe lack of regular participation in CRC screening programs in the Republic of Korea was found to be an issue that requires attention. Policies on CRC screening must place increased emphasis on strengthening educational and public relations initiatives.
