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
backgroundA substantial disparity exists in cancer screening rates between individuals with and without physical disabilities, and there is a lack of information on the perceptions and experiences of cancer screening among individuals with disabilities and the factors influencing their participation.
methodsIn this cross-sectional descriptive study, data were collected from 167 individuals with physical disabilities in Korea, using a questionnaire survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, chi-squared tests, Pearson's correlation, and multiple logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe participation rate of individuals with physical disabilities in the national cancer screening program over the past 2 years was 55.1%. Perceived benefits of cancer screening were positive, whereas perceived barriers were lower than moderate. Self-efficacy regarding cancer screening was slightly above moderate. Individuals with prior health screening experience showed a significantly higher tendency to participate. Previous experience with health screening also led to differences in perceptions of cancer screening. Health screening experience and perceived benefits of cancer screening significantly influenced participation in national cancer screening.
conclusionsTo increase cancer screening participation among individuals with physical disabilities, it is crucial to not only reduce barriers to cancer screening but also enhance perceptions of its importance and benefits.
