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

Cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanic/Latino individuals, yet many do not complete cancer screenings due to systemic barriers. To address this issue, Rochester Healthy Community Partnership (RHCP) created "Stories for Change: La detección temprana puede salvar vidas" (S4C-cancer prevention). This digital storytelling intervention involved eight Hispanic/Latino cancer survivors or co-survivors who shared their experiences by creating 2-min videos. Their heartfelt stories aim to help patients make informed decisions about cancer screenings. RHCP piloted S4C-cancer prevention at three clinical sites to assess intervention acceptability and success (cancer screenings completed). A total of 51 participants who were overdue for cancer screenings were recruited (breast = 13; cervical = 12; colorectal women = 14; colorectal men = 12). After viewing the intervention, 100% intended to be screened in the future. Within 7 months, 45% of participants completed their recommended cancer screenings. Among those who were screened, 89% stated that their decision was "very much" influenced by S4C-cancer prevention. Participants who did not complete screening cited barriers such as time, lack of access to health education, and fear. Those who had previously screened for the targeted cancer were more likely to complete screening after viewing S4C-cancer prevention. Additionally, participants suggested enhancing the videos by including more education on various cancer topics. We found high acceptability of S4C-cancer prevention. Despite all participants intending to get screened, half completed screening within 7 months of viewing the intervention.
