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

purposeThe prevalence of cancer among patients accessing primary care in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) is poorly characterized. A patient's history of cancer in addition to common chronic conditions makes providing comprehensive primary care more complex, especially for patients accessing care at FQHCs who often face additional social and economic barriers to care.

methodsTrained auditors conducted a comprehensive electronic medical record audit using a standardized abstraction form to identify cancer history in patients aged ≥ 40 years with two common chronic conditions (diabetes and/or hypertension) and who had at least one visit to an FQHC between January 1 and December 31, 2019. Descriptive statistics were performed.

resultsAmong 712 adult patients with diabetes and/or hypertension, 46 (6.46%) had a documented history of cancer. For the majority of cancer patients (67.4%), cancer information was documented in the "Problem List" section of their medical record.

conclusionOur study revealed a higher prevalence of cancer in FQHC primary care records than previously reported. Future research should examine whether readily accessible cancer history information in primary care records could enhance comprehensive care delivery for all chronic conditions, including cancer.
