1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Cancer awareness is vital for early detection and prevention; however, individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) often face challenges in accessing health information. The Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) has not been tailored for this population. This study aimed to adapt and validate the CAM for individuals with ID in Hungary and to assess their cancer literacy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 232 adults with mild and moderate ID living in community and residential settings. The CAM was simplified for cognitive accessibility, translated into Hungarian, and reviewed by the experts. The psychometric evaluation included internal consistency (Cronbach's Results: The adapted CAM showed satisfactory reliability across subscales (Warning Signs: Conclusion: The Adapted CAM is a reliable and valid tool for assessing cancer awareness among individuals with ID in Hungary. The findings highlight demographic and contextual disparities, emphasizing the need for tailored, inclusive educational interventions and caregiver support.
