Factors associated with participation in colorectal and breast cancer screening among cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 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
purposeCancer survivors are at increased risk of developing subsequent primary cancers, yet participation in recommended cancer screening remains suboptimal. Greater understanding of factors impacting screening participation is needed to inform strategies for improving uptake. Therefore, we aimed to review and quantitatively synthesize predictors of participation in breast cancer (BC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among cancer survivors.
methodsMEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE, PubMed, and CINAHL databases were searched from inception through September 2024 to identify studies examining predictors of CRC or BC screening among survivors of other adult cancers. Random effect models were used to estimate pooled associations for predictors reported in ≥ 3 studies.
resultsFrom 2492 initial citations, 49 studies were included, with 35 studies reporting on CRC and 29 on BC screening participation. Factors significantly associated with CRC screening included having a healthcare provider, having health insurance, receiving a provider recommendation for screening, a greater number of physician visits, older age, being a nonsmoker, being married, higher income or education, urban residence, and better mental health. Factors associated with BC screening included receiving a written follow-up care plan, a greater number of physician visits, being married, not having dual Medicaid-Medicare coverage status, receiving specialist care, and White racial identity.
conclusionsHealthcare access and survivorship care factors appear to play an important role in screening participation among cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Interventions addressing barriers to care and social determinants of health may help improve screening uptake and reduce disparities in subsequent cancer screening in this high-risk population.
