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

Although nearly two-thirds of U.S. firefighters serve as volunteers, they are rarely included in studies of firefighters' health. The Firefighter Cancer Assessment and Prevention Study (CAPS), a research component of the Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study (FFCCS), has enrolled over 600 U.S. volunteer firefighters to help address this gap. This study found a greater prevalence of cancer-related health behaviors among volunteers compared to career firefighters. These behaviors included cigarette smoking, heavy alcohol use, and obesity. While the differences in behaviors varied between U.S. states, all state-level prevalences were higher among volunteer firefighters than career firefighters. The findings of this study support the need to provide volunteer firefighters with overall and targeted health promotion and cancer prevention programs.
