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
backgroundResearch comparing the effects of culturally targeted and generic but linguistically appropriate intervention programs is limited. We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of a culturally targeted video, a generic video, and a fact sheet (control) in promoting mammography screening among Chinese-American immigrants.
methodsWe randomized 664 Chinese-American women from the Washington, DC, and New York City areas who were older than 40 years and nonadherent to annual mammography screening guidelines to three study arms (each with ∼221 women). The outcome was self-reported mammography screening 6 months post intervention. Measures of knowledge, Eastern cultural views, and health beliefs were administered before and after the intervention.
resultsThe culturally targeted video, the generic video, and the fact sheet increased mammography use by 40.3%, 38.5%, and 31.1% from baseline, respectively. A significant intervention effect was observed only in one subgroup: The culturally targeted video significantly increased mammography screening among low-acculturated women over the fact sheet [OR, 1.70; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-2.78]. Overall, women who obtained a mammogram during the follow-up period reported significantly fewer barriers to screening after intervention than those who had not obtained screening. Both of the video groups reported fewer barriers after intervention than the control group.
conclusionsBoth theoretically guided videos increased the likelihood of mammography use to a similar extent. Cultural targeting was only effective for low-acculturated women. Both videos reduced perceived barriers to screening and consequently increased screening behavior. IMPACT: The results of this study provide empirical evidence on the efficacy of cultural targeting for minority immigrants.
