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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality among Latinos who remain underrepresented in screening and are more often diagnosed at later stages, leading to poorer outcomes. Barriers include low health literacy, lack of insurance, limited access to screening, and cultural mistrust of healthcare and research. To implement the Colorectal Health Research Champion (CHRC) Model to address CRC screening disparities among immigrant Latinos, primarily from Central and South America, residing in Richmond, VA's urban Latino community. The CHRC model integrates evidence-based strategies from Screen to Save (S2S), the National Outreach Network Community Health Educator (NON-CHE) program, and Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center's Community Champion program. Five trained champions conducted peer-to-peer chats on CRC symptoms, risk factors, screening guidelines, healthy behaviors, and clinical trials. Pre and post-surveys were collected from 52 Latino participants. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test assessed changes in knowledge and screening intent. Baseline CRC awareness and screening rates were low. Post-intervention, participants showed notable improvements in recognizing CRC risk factors such as physical inactivity, family history, and the importance of early detection. Participants also demonstrated a better understanding of screening options like the FIT test and expressed willingness to adopt healthier behaviors and pursue screening. However, mistrust and limited understanding of research remained challenges. The CHRC model successfully enhanced CRC knowledge, screening, and early detection awareness among Latinos, while encouraging consideration of clinical trial participation. Success was driven by trusted community champions leveraging social networks, culturally tailored education, addressing research hesitancy, and using flexible outreach strategies.
