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
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between geographical factors, including rurality, persistent poverty counties, racial residential segregation, and adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among low-income uninsured and underinsured individuals in Texas. Methods: Utilizing retrospective survey data collected by the A&M Texas Cancer Screening program from 2011 to 2022, linear mixed-effects models were employed. The models examined CRC screening adherence within the recommended time frame as the primary outcome, with geographical county-level characteristics (rurality, racial residential segregation, and persistent poverty) as the main predictors, controlling for other sociodemographic variables. Findings: The linear mixed-effects analysis revealed that individuals residing in counties characterized by high racial residential segregation (OR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.36-0.79) or persistent poverty (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.45-0.92) were less likely to self-report having undergone any type of CRC screening within the recommended time frame compared to those in counties with lower racial residential segregation and non-persistent poverty. Conversely, residents of rural counties were more likely to report being up to date with CRC screening compared to their urban counterparts (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.27-2.55). Conclusions: The findings underscore the need for more targeted CRC screening promotion strategies tailored to low-income, uninsured populations residing in disadvantaged areas such as rural and persistent poverty counties, as well as those characterized by high racial residential segregation.
