Communicating the benefits and harms of cancer screening.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Breast and cervical screening each have a distinct balance of benefits and harms. While they are both likely to reduce mortality, breast screening is associated with a greater relative frequency of serious harms than cervical screening. A unique approach has been adopted in England with respect to providing information on cancer screening with the goal of facilitating informed choice. The new materials provide more detail than previous information about the benefits and harms of screening as well as the scientific uncertainties. While there is a uniform format and the information covers the same key issues in both breast and cervical screening programmes, the emphasis and detail varies according to balance of benefits and harms within these programmes.
