Disability and Participation in Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of disability on participation in CRC screening and to determine the overall effect size.
methodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare CRC screening participation in individuals with and without disabilities. The search encompassed five databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, medRxiv). Pooled estimates were calculated for each type of CRC screening and disability categories to synthesize the findings. The participation in CRC screening was derived using a random effects model.
resultsA total of 20 articles were included, most of them from the USA. Based on pooled estimates, individuals with disabilities have lower odds of undergoing CRC screening versus those without disabilities (OR = 0.80, 95%CI 0.73-0.87). Analysis by screening type indicated that individuals with a disability have lower odds of a fecal occult blood test or a fecal immunochemical test (OR: 0.72, 95%CI 0.65-0.81), with no significant difference for a colonoscopy. Individuals with intellectual disabilities had significantly lower rates of CRC screening participation (OR = 0.65, 95%CI 0.53-0.79), especially for FOBT/FIT (OR = 0.58, 95%CI 0.49-0.69).
conclusionsDisparities exist for CRC screening participation in people with disabilities. Further research and coordinated efforts are essential to develop interventions for improving early cancer diagnosis for this non-negligible patient group.
