Identifying Primary Care Patients at High Risk for Lung Cancer: A Quality Improvement Study.
Article in Clinical journal of oncology nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDespite guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, millions of Americans at high risk for lung cancer go unscreened every year.
objectivesThe purpose of this quality improvement project was to identify individuals at high risk for the development of lung cancer using a lung cancer screening tool. All patients who were identified as at risk received an order for screening via a low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scan.
methodsA quality improvement team educated providers at a primary care clinic about administering a lung cancer screening tool to all patients at their annual physical examination. For eligible patients, providers could order an LDCT scan to detect early lung cancer. Pre- and postintervention data were collected to determine whether there was a statistically significant increase in the number of LDCT scans ordered for eligible patients.
findingsThere was no statistically significant increase in the number of LDCT scans ordered from pre- to postintervention. The use of a lung cancer screening tool more comprehensively addressed patients' smoking status, which can increase the identification of at-risk patients.
