Correlates of patient-centered discussions on colorectal cancer screening: results from the health information national trends survey (HINTS).

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
purposeIn 2021, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force lowered the recommended start age for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to 45 years. In this study, we examined sociodemographic and health-related factors associated with U.S. adults being told about different CRC screening tests by health professionals.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, secondary analysis of the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey. The main outcome was, "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you there are a few different tests to detect colorectal cancer?" We compared "yes" responses (n = 1945) to "no" or "never" discussed responses combined (n = 878).
resultsIn the multivariable logistic regression model, adults aged 45-49 years and females had lower odds of being told about CRC screening tests compared to adults aged 50-75 years and males, respectively. Conversely, participants in excellent/very good health compared to those in fair/poor health, those with a history of diabetes compared to no diabetes, and those with higher household income ranges compared with 0 to $19,999 had higher odds of being told about CRC screening tests.
conclusionIncreasing CRC screening test awareness, particularly among females and adults aged 45 to 49, may strengthen patient-clinician communication and promote earlier CRC detection.
