Willingness of adults in the United States to have a multicancer detection test.

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
purposeMulticancer detection (MCD) testing is an emerging approach with the potential to improve the cancer screening and early detection landscape. As the clinical utility of MCD testing is further determined, it is important to examine patients' willingness to have an MCD test.
methodsWe conducted an online survey in September 2024 with a national sample of adults aged 45-80 from the United States (n = 1,043). Multivariable logistic regression identified correlates of participants' willingness to have an MCD test.
resultsAbout three-fourths of participants (75.2%) indicated they were willing to have an MCD test if it was free or covered by health insurance, while only 16.9% were willing if the test cost $1,000 out of pocket. Participants were more willing to have a free MCD test if they had at least a college degree (odds ratio [OR] = 2.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-5.48), had some form of health insurance (OR = 3.40, 95% CI 1.84-6.27), or had a routine medical check-up within the last year (OR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.01-2.59). The most commonly endorsed factors that would matter in participants' hypothetical MCD testing decisions were cost or health insurance coverage (60.7%), how well the test works (50.6%), and if a doctor recommended having a test (47.6%).
conclusionsMost adults are willing to have an MCD test, if it is free or covered by health insurance. Findings can help guide programs about MCD testing for both patients and healthcare providers that are becoming increasingly necessary as MCD testing continues to be examined as a screening strategy.
