Adherence to US Preventive Services Task Force recommendations for breast and cervical cancer screening for women who have a spinal cord injury.

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
contextWomen with spinal cord injury (SCI) may face barriers that result in disparities in receipt of recommended mammography and Papanicolaou testing.
settingSouth Carolina.
participantsSouth Carolina women with SCI were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes in 2000-2010 Medicaid and Medicare billing data. OUTCOME MEASURES: Receipt of mammography and Pap testing was determined using procedure billing codes. Partial proportional odds models were estimated to examine the association between SCI and adherence with screening recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force. Each individual's screening experience was classified as full adherence, partial adherence, or no screening.
resultsThe cohort for mammography consisted of 3,173 women with SCI and 6,433 comparison women without SCI. The cohort for Pap testing consisted 5,025 women with SCI and 9,538 comparison women. Women with SCI were less likely to have full adherence with mammography recommendations (aOR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.64, 0.76) and Pap test recommendations (aOR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.49, 0.57). They were more likely to have no mammography screening (aOR = 1.44, 95% CI 1.33, 1.57) and no Pap testing (aOR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.77, 2.03) than women without SCI.
conclusionUsing longitudinal data with multiple outcome levels, women with SCI were less likely to be fully adherent with receipt of recommended breast and cervical cancer screenings and more likely to have no screenings during the eligible years when compared to women without SCI.
