Recruitment and retention of Chinese men at high risk for lung Cancer: Lessons learned from a pilot trial of a community health worker intervention to increase lung cancer screening uptake.

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: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) currently recommends annual lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for asymptomatic 50- to 80-year-old adults with a 20-pack year history who currently smoke or have quit smoking within the past 15 years. Foreign-born Chinese livery drivers are a group at disproportionately high risk for lung cancer due to high smoking prevalence and occupational exposure to airborne contaminants and carcinogens. This paper describes a pilot randomized controlled trial to educate and navigate high-risk, previously unscreened Chinese livery drivers to lung cancer screening, and describes barriers to recruitment and retention. Study design: Pre-pilot and pilot randomized controlled trial. Methods: The study was conducted in two phases, a pre-pilot and pilot randomized controlled trial between December 2019 and June 2023. In the pilot RCT, eligible participants were randomized to either (1) the CHW (Community Health Worker) intervention group or (2) a written materials only control group and participated for 6-12 months. Results: From December 2019 to June 2023, 25 subjects were enrolled: 12 in Phase 1 and 13 in Phase 2 (of 1018 approached). Recruitment barriers included the COVID-19 pandemic, institutional mistrust, smoking-related beliefs, and primary care provider-related barriers. Conclusions: We identified specific socioenvironmental and cultural barriers to LCS uptake among Chinese immigrant men who smoke. Farther upstream cancer education interventions (e.g., provider and community-level education initiatives on LCS) conducted in partnership with community-based organizations should be considered to meet the needs of this population.
