[Evaluation of the "Early detection and opportune attention of cervicouterine cancer" program].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo measure the results of early detection and a timely approach to cervical cancer in the three Health Networks of the Costa Rican Public Health System.
designDescriptive cross-sectional study. LOCATION: Primary health areas and hospitals of the Public Health System.
participantsThe 639,229 Papanicolaou smears performed in the period 2004-2005 were examined and a representative sample of 7,342 abnormal cytology and 7,729 colposcopies in 2005. MEASUREMENTS: Adjusted Papanicolaou cover index and referral times of the abnormal cytology and the diagnostic confirmation, by applying the Care Guidelines for Women with Abnormal Cervical Cytology.
resultsAround 42% of the primary care areas have Papanicolaou smear rate significantly lower than the national average. The primary care areas refer abnormal cytology for diagnostic confirmation in 97% of cases. The Calderon Guardia Health Area is the health service with the best performance in the management of appointments for diagnostic confirmation, whereas the San Juan de Dios service has most delays in making referrals.
conclusionsIn order to improve the results of the program, cover must be increased in younger women and an appointment management plan set up to perform a colposcopy as soon as possible.
