Strengthening colonoscopy screening in primary care: A preventive imperative before the coming surge.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
India stands at a critical juncture in its cancer control efforts. While cervical, breast, and oral cancers receive substantial screening attention, colorectal cancer (CRC), a largely preventable disease, remains conspicuously absent from the national preventive health agenda. With approximately 70,000 new cases and 41,000 deaths annually, and projections indicating a doubling of this burden by 2050, the time for complacency has passed. Colonoscopy screening, proven globally to reduce mortality by over 30%, represents an underutilized intervention that could spare hundreds of thousands of lives in India. This editorial argues for the urgent integration of systematic CRC screening into India's primary healthcare framework before demographic and lifestyle shifts render the problem unmanageable.
