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
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia, where there is currently no widespread CRC screening program. This study aimed to assess the implementation of CRC screening within medical practices at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, targeting beneficiaries aged 50-75 years. Methodology: A retrospective chart review and cross-sectional analysis were conducted between January and December 2022 for an age group from 50 to 75 years. Frequency and percentages were used to display categorical variables. The Chi-square test and independent Results: Out of the 296 patients between the ages of 50 and 75 years, less than half were men (49%). The average age of the participants was 61.5 years, ranging from 56 to 69. During the research, the incidence of CRC among patients was found to be 8.1%. Most patients had negative FOBT tests (73%), while about 27% tested positive, and approximately 23% underwent colonoscopy. Patients with a FOBT test positive tended to be older than those with a negative result. Conclusion: This study found that the utilization of CRC screening is not fully maximized at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City. It highlights the importance of raising awareness and promoting adherence to screening guidelines for individuals between the ages of 50 and 75 years. Additional research is necessary to identify the factors that hinder or facilitate CRC screening in this context to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of various screening methods.
