Cancer screening information-seeking before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Preventive oncology & epidemiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine cancer screening; however, it is unclear whether the public's cancer screening information-seeking behaviors changed. Our study examined cancer screening information-seeking before and after pandemic onset using data from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service. Methods: We analyzed screening inquiries from general public users before (3/27/19-3/26/20) and after (3/27/20-3/26/21) pandemic onset. We examined point of access, subjects of interaction, and referrals. Results: There were more general public cancer screening inquiries made post-pandemic onset ( Conclusions: We found potentially important changes in cancer screening information-seeking after pandemic onset, including increasing interest in breast cancer screening, yet decreasing interest in other cancer screening tests. Future work should evaluate how public health crises affect information seeking and influence intentions to screen for cancer.
