Skin Cancer Awareness, Beliefs, Behaviors, and Access to Care Among the Homeless and Underinsured Patients Using a Free Clinic in Nebraska.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionTo understand the attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, and access to care surrounding sun safety for a primarily homeless or underinsured patient population at a student-run health clinic.
methodsAll adult attendees at the health clinic were invited to complete an anonymous 16-item questionnaire that assessed their sun safety history, practices, knowledge, and beliefs.
resultsFifty participants completed our questionnaire, with 35 individuals (70%) reporting that they were without permanent residence, and 21 individuals indicating that they were uninsured or using Medicaid (42%). The typical reported daily sun exposure was high (median=4 hours), while sunscreen use was uncommon (mean=1.83, falling between a "Never" or "Rarely" rating). Only 10 participants (20%) reported having ever seen a dermatologist though commonly assumed barriers such as transportation, cost, or wait time were not endorsed at high rates. Conclusion: Our findings highlight areas for targeted education surrounding sun safety and identify sun protection methods accessible for this patient population.
