Acceptance of Lung Cancer Screening and Associated Factors in Hong Kong: A Population-Based Study.

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
introductionLow-dose computed tomography (LDCT) enables early detection of lung cancer and reduces mortality, yet public willingness to undergo screening remains suboptimal. This study aimed to assess willingness and its associated factors among high-risk individuals in Hong Kong.
methodsA territory-wide cross-sectional survey was conducted among adults aged 54 years or above, and those aged 45-54 years with at least one lung cancer risk factor (e.g., smoking, secondhand smoke exposure, or family history) in Hong Kong. Data were collected via self-administered questionnaires, which included socio-demographic information, risk exposure, awareness and experience of LDCT, and constructs from the Health Belief Model (HBM). Logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with willingness to undergo LDCT screening.
resultsA total of 1100 participants were included in the analysis. Among them, 57.3% expressed willingness to undergo LDCT within the next year. Multivariable logistic regression showed that higher self-efficacy was the strongest factor of willingness, followed by greater perceived benefits and stronger cues to. Additional significant factors included being a current or former smoker, secondhand smoke exposure, age > 65 years, and being responsible for cooking at home. In contrast, unmarried individuals were significantly less likely to be willing to undergo LDCT (aOR = 0.678; 95% CI: 0.486-0.946; p = 0.022).
conclusionWillingness to undergo LDCT screening was suboptimal among high-risk individuals in Hong Kong. Key facilitators included higher self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and cues to action-central domains of the Health Belief Model. Targeted strategies that strengthen these domains may improve screening uptake.
