Health Damaged Context: Barriers to Breast Cancer Screening from Viewpoint of Iranian Health Volunteers
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Breast cancer is common among cancer diseases and the second leading cause of death among women worldwide. The breast cancer-caused death is directly associated with diagnosis time of the disease. Screening is one of the major methods for health promotion in human societies. However, many women still refuse to do the periodic screening. The present study is aimed to analyze the experiences of health volunteers in order to understand the barriers to breast cancer screening among women at southeast of Iran. Methods: Data collection was performed through focus groups. Using the purposive sampling method, 24 participants were selected and then were allocated to 6-member groups. The data were analysed using Lundman and Graneheim qualitative content analysis. Results: The main theme of “Health Damage Context” was extracted with four main categories, including: family barriers, cultural and social barriers, personal barriers and organizational barriers. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, there are numerous barriers to regular breast cancer screening, and for the same reasons, the willingness to screening is sometimes not satisfactory. Therefore, in case of the women’s referral to health centers, nurses and other health-care professionals should inform them about the role of different screening methods in early diagnosis and rapid treatment of breast cancer.
