Outcomes and Follow-Up Data From Two Skin Cancer Screening Events.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
This study investigated the outcomes and follow-up behaviors of participants from two free skin cancer screening events in the United States. This survey, with 296 participants and a 31% response rate, gathered information on participant demographics, personal history of skin cancer, knowledge of skin screening practices, and follow-up behaviors. There was a high follow-up rate of 92.3% among individuals recommended for further dermatological consultation, but a low (22%) concordance rate between the preliminary diagnoses from the screening and patient-recalled diagnoses. Additionally, about one-sixth of participants identified limited access to care as a motivation for participating in the screening. The study emphasizes the need to improve awareness about the limitations of free screenings, enhance participant education, and ensure equitable access to skin cancer screening. Future research should focus on factors influencing follow-up behaviors and the development of targeted interventions to increase awareness and access to skin cancer screening.
