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
Background: Breast and cervical cancers are the most common cause of cancer death among women in the world. These cancers are detectable early, however only a few women participate in cancer screening especially in developing countries, including Indonesia. Family, culture and religion can influence why women have screening. Husbands, in Muslim families have a significant role in the family’s health including their wife’s reproductive health. However, information about Muslim husbands’ roles in wife’s health especially cancer is limited. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine Muslim husband’s roles in women’s health and cancer from the perspectives of Muslim women. Methods: This study was a qualitative study using a descriptive exploratory approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 Muslim women, 10 from urban areas and 10 from rural areas of West Java Province, Indonesia. Women were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. Data from the interviews were analyzed using the Comparative Analysis for Interview technique. Results: The study found two main themes emerged from the analysis: Muslim husbands’ extensive roles in promoting women’s health and Husbands’ have limited actions with regard to cancer screening. This study also found similarities between rural and urban women’s opinions that in general husbands actively supported promoting women’s health. Conclusion: Muslim husbands focused on encouraging women to have healthy lifestyles, however, a lack of support from husbands related to cancer screening. This behaviour could be a hindrance to Muslim women’s participation in prevention and the early detection of cancer. There is a need to improve Muslim husbands’ awareness in women’s cancer.
