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

Objectives: To understand whether financial barriers or the lack of accessibility to dermatology services was a significant motivation for the public to seek free skin cancer screening. Methods: An anonymous and voluntary survey was administered to participants of The Sun Bus free skin cancer screening program in 2023 at U.S. outdoor events in Colorado, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Iowa, Wyoming, Missouri, and Montana. 491 respondents answered questions on motivation, healthcare coverage, and demographics. Survey data was analyzed using Qualtrics' crosstab IQ and statistical tests software. Results: Skin screening found suspicious lesions in 45 % of 1300 participants with 18 % of respondents sharing a previous history of skin cancer. Conclusions: This work highlights the significance of promoting public awareness of dermatology services covered by health insurance and the need for continued efforts in skin cancer education and screening programs.
