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

introductionEffective communication and messaging strategies are crucial to raise awareness and support participants' efforts to adhere to lung cancer screening (LCS) guidelines. Health messages that incorporate images are processed more efficiently, and given the stigma surrounding lung cancer and cigarette smoking, emphasis must be placed on selecting imagery that is engaging to LCS-eligible individuals. This exploratory study aimed to identify person-centered themes surrounding LCS imagery. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis qualitative study leveraged a modified photovoice approach and interviews to define descriptive themes about LCS imagery. Study participants eligible for annual LCS who had a CT scan within 12 months were asked to select three images and participate in a semi-structured interview about photo selection, likes, and dislikes. Participants were also asked their opinions about images from current LCS communications featuring matches, smoke, and cigarettes. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic approach.

resultsData saturation was reached after thirteen individuals completed the photovoice activity; each participant selected three pictures resulting in a total of 39 images representing LCS. Over half (54%) of images selected contained lungs and only 4 (10%) contained smoking-related elements. Five main themes emerged: 1) images should focus on good news and early detection; 2) people should be relatable; 3) pictures with lungs can dually support lung health or invoke fear; 4) opportunity for education or awareness; and 5) should not be judgmental and induce stigma.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that LCS imagery should not contain negative or stigmatizing elements but instead be relatable and educational. This information can inform communication and messaging interventions and strategies for future LCS participation, awareness, and educational research.
