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

Background: Colon cancer is one of the most widespread cancers in Jordan. Screening of colon cancer aids in reducing its incidence and mortality rates. Awareness of colon cancer and its screening tools has a fundamental role in increasing screening participation. The information about Jordanians' awareness of colon cancer screening is inadequate. Objective: This study aims to assess the Jordanian population's level of awareness about colon cancer, including basic knowledge, screening tools, attitudes toward early screening, and preferred methods for spreading awareness. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study. The study was conducted using both online and paper-based validated, and reliable questionnaires which were distributed throughout the entire community. Knowledge scores (KS range -10 to +10) and attitude scores (AS range -8 to +8) were calculated. Univariate analysis and logistic regression model were carried out. The nominal-by-nominal strength was also calculated. Results: Information was collected from 1050 participants aged 18 to 70 years. with 63.6% being female responders. Participants with negative knowledge scores ''KS ≤ zero" were greater than good knowledge scores ''KS > 4 out of 10" (25.8% vs 11.4%). age, gender, insurance, working in the medical field, education, monthly income, smoking, and family history of cancer showed statistically significant associations with KS ( Conclusion: One-quarter of the population is in crucial need for proper education, especially among young groups. This study forms a good basis and provides a solid foundation for health authorities to implement the necessary measures to address this issue.
