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
backgroundThere is a growing incidence of colorectal cancer and related deaths in the United States, despite screening recommendations. This study analyzed the factors associated with having ever undergone endoscopic colorectal cancer testing among adults aged 45-85 years.
methodsThis study analyzed data from the 2023 National Health Interview Survey (N = 17,087 participants). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between sociodemographic and healthcare-related factors and the likelihood of having ever (a) undergone a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy and (b) taken a fecal immunochemical test (FIT).
resultsThe majority of the respondents had undergone an endoscopic colorectal exam (66%) vs. FIT (22%) in their lifetime. Compared to respondents aged 45-49 years, those in older age groups (50-85 years) were more likely to have ever undergone an endoscopic colorectal exam or FIT testing. African Americans were more likely to have ever undergone an endoscopic colorectal exam (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 1.26, CI = 1.07-1.48), while American Indian/American Native and others (AOR = 1.35, CI = 1.02-1.80) were more likely to have ever undergone a FIT compared to White people. While education and health insurance were associated with having ever undergone an endoscopic colorectal exam, neither was associated with FIT. Compared to married respondents, widowed, separated, or divorced respondents (AOR = 0.88, CI = 0.79-0.98), and unmarried respondents (AOR = 0.70, CI = 0.60-0.82) were less likely to have ever undergone an endoscopic colorectal exam.
conclusionsVariations in factors associated with having ever undergone endoscopic colorectal cancer testing can help to understand disparities in screening uptake better and guide the development of targeted public health interventions to improve colorectal cancer prevention and early detection.
