Anal cancer screening and the role of clinicians providing gynecologic care: A survey of anal cancer screening knowledge and practice patterns at an urban tertiary medical center in the United States.

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
Objective: This study aims to assess the current knowledge of anal cancer, screening, and practice patterns among clinicians providing gynecologic care. Methods: In January 2024, 207 clinicians providing care for adults at an urban tertiary medical center (the University of Michigan Hospitals, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States) received a 14-question electronic survey regarding their knowledge of anal cancer, screening practices, and desire to learn more about anal cancer screening. Descriptive statistics were used to present findings. Results: The final analyses included 121 respondents. Over three-quarters of respondents (80.2 %) reported knowing anal cancer risk factors, while only 11.6 % reported knowing anal cancer incidence. The majority of respondents (66.1 %) reported that they 'Never' perform anal cancer screening tests in the setting of anal cancer risk factors, and almost half of respondents (43.0 %) felt like they could correctly perform an anal cancer screening test. Nearly all respondents (97.5 %) reported an interest in learning more about anal cancer screening methods. Conclusion: Clinicians providing gynecologic care can play a unique role in anal cancer screening. Given the limited studies on clinicians' knowledge of anal cancer screening, this study offers a unique perspective of gynecologic providers' knowledge and willingness to integrate anal cancer screening methods into their practice.
