Mammography Adherence in African-American Women: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
backgroundBreast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality among women in the developed world. Mammography screening is especially important for African-Americans because they experience a greater mortality (OR = 1.38) than Caucasians despite having a lower incidence of breast cancer. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two interventions with usual care on mammography adherence among African-American women.
methodsA subsample of African-American women (n = 244) aged 41-65 years who had not had a mammogram in the last 15 months and no history of breast cancer was randomly assigned to receive (1) mailed interactive DVD, (2) computer-tailored telephone counseling, or (3) usual care.
resultsThe DVD intervention was five times more effective than usual care for promoting mammography screening at 6 months follow-up among women who earned less than $30,000 (OR = 5.3). Compared to usual care, neither the DVD nor phone produced significant effects for women with household incomes >$30,000.
conclusionUse of a mailed DVD for low-income African-American women may be an effective way to increase mammography adherence.
