Up-to-date prevalence at recommended ages for discontinuing routine colorectal, cervical and lung cancer screening.
Article in Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cancer screening guidelines specify ages at which routine screening should be discontinued and, except for cervical cancer screening, do not require specific screening history criteria be met for discontinuation. We estimated the prevalence of being up to date with average-risk screening guidelines for colorectal, cervical, and lung cancer as of the recommended ages for discontinuation of routine screening. We conducted a descriptive study among several U.S. healthcare systems during 2010-2019. Up-to-date screening prevalence, based on U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines, was ascertained prior to 76th, 66th, and 81st birthdays among persons eligible for colorectal (N = 316,756 persons), cervical (N = 20,282 persons), and lung cancer (N = 1,151 persons) screening, respectively. Up-to-date screening prevalence was 84.4% for colorectal, 58.9% for cervical, and 6.3% for lung cancer screening. Up-to-date screening prevalence at the ages recommended for discontinuing routine colorectal, cervical, and lung cancer screening varied appreciably, and was particularly low for lung cancer screening.
