Bridging the Gap: Interventions to Increase Cancer Screening Adherence in Individuals with Mental Disorders-A Systematic Review.

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
Patients with mental illnesses adhere to organized cancer screening programs less frequently than the general population. This systematic review aims to examine the literature to identify studies that evaluate interventions designed to increase cancer screening adherence in people with mental disorders. The review protocol was registered (CRD42024510431) and Pubmed and Scopus were searched up to January 2024. Breast, colorectal, or cervical cancer screening were considered. We adhered to the PROSPERO guidelines. Study quality was assessed. Overall, six articles were included: two RCT studies, two before-after studies, and two cohort studies. Four interventions were conducted in the USA, one in Canada, and one in Japan. Two studies evaluated all three cancer screening programs, two studies evaluated breast cancer screenings, and two studies evaluated colorectal cancer screenings. The proposed interventions included patient navigation, case management, and support from staff members along with educational modules, decision counselling sessions, and enhanced primary care. The most consistent improvements in screening adherence were observed in breast and colorectal cancer screenings compared to usual care, particularly through interventions like patient navigation (colorectal cancer: 47.1% vs. 11.8%,
