Medical barriers to mammography screening of African American women in a high cancer mortality area: implications for cancer educators and health providers.
Trial report in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
African American women have a higher breast cancer mortality rate than whites even when cancer subtype is considered, are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage, and are less likely to have mammography screening. Structural barriers limit screening but may be less important than clinical care and personal barriers among minority and lower income women. A random sample of 178 African American females aged >40 years from a high cancer risk area was surveyed to associate mammography screening with clinical, structural, and personal barriers. Clinical barriers including patient education and communication were significantly associated with lack of screening in previous 2 years. Personal barriers (lack of trust and knowledge) and structural barriers (lack of insurance, facilities, and providers) also reduced screening. Results reveal that medical practitioners should be more pro-active in reducing clinical barriers to mammography screening among lower income African American women. Improved patient physician communication, education about breast cancer to build knowledge and reduce fears, referral for mammography, and building trust are indicated.
