Feasibility of Using College Students to Increase Cancer Screening Behaviors Among Their Parents.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
This study evaluated the feasibility of using college students to encourage cancer screening among their parents or other close adults.
methodsA sample of college students were surveyed on their willingness to discuss cancer screening with their parents and their perceived importance of cancer screening. Individuals reporting high levels (≥7/10) on each were offered a brief intervention (i.e., basic cancer screening information) and a follow-up survey.
resultsA total of 189 students completed the baseline survey. A subset of 92 students met intervention criteria (49%), with 54 of 92 accepting (59%). Of those who accepted, 19 of 54 were reached at follow-up (35%). Roughly half of those reached engaged in cancer screening discussions with a parent, most speaking with their mother. Open-ended feedback was positive and commonly focused on the desire for additional knowledge.
conclusionsResults demonstrate that college students are a promising target for future intergenerational intervention work.
