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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising among young adults, highlighting the need for targeted education and prevention. Community-informed approaches are often more effective and sustainable than traditional top-down health education models because they integrate community knowledge and lived experience from the outset. The [blinded], a non-profit organization, developed GRACCE (Getting Real About Colorectal Cancer Education), a peer-led, ambassador-driven education program adapted from an evidence-based curriculum to increase CRC awareness among young adults. This pilot project recruited student ambassadors from five [blinded] universities completed a three-session training and weekly coaching to deliver campus-based CRC education. Pilot evaluation included immediate post-session attendee surveys assessing behavioral intentions, perceived knowledge, and satisfaction. Six in-person and virtual sessions reached 118 attendees; 95 (77%) completed surveys. On a 1-5 scale, participants reported strong intentions to exercise more (M = 4.67), discuss screening (M = 4.63), learn family history (M = 4.65), reduce red/processed meat (M = 4.36), and reduce alcohol use (M = 4.54). Perceived knowledge gains were high for CRC, screening, and risk factors (Ms = 4.80-4.83). Satisfaction with session location, length, and content was high. This community-led, ambassador-driven model was feasible, acceptable, and associated with improved CRC knowledge and prevention intentions among young adults. GRACCE offers a scalable peer-delivered model to enhance CRC awareness and prevention among younger populations.
