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

The landscape for the screening of colorectal cancer (CRC) has witnessed multiple triumphs over the past decades from policy-level interventions. In the United States (US), the most prominent intervention of this nature is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted more than a decade ago. Since its enactment, the ACA has seen multiple legal challenges, and its impact on CRC screening has been relatively well studied. However, a consolidated, concise analysis of the data on this subject is lacking. Herein, we evaluate the impact of the ACA on CRC screening through the lens of a policy analysis, highlighting its strengths and shortcomings, and suggest policy-level interventions to address these shortcomings and improve CRC screening adoption.
