The Association of Health Literacy with Breast Cancer Knowledge, Perception and Screening Behavior.
Article in European journal of breast health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
objectiveThe incidence of breast cancer among Iranian women is increasing, and 70% of patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. The current study aimed at evaluating the association of health literacy (HL) with breast cancer knowledge, perception, and screening behavior in women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe current cross- sectional, descriptive study was conducted on 250 women who referred to health centers in Zahedan, Iran. Data collection instrument included a demographic information form, Iranian Health Literacy Questionnaire (IHLQ), and Champion's health belief model scale.
resultsThe majority of participants (89.6%) had limited HL. Participants with limited HL had less breast cancer knowledge, and less perceived severity than who had higher HL score. Participants with higher HL score had done breast self-exam (BSE) more than the others. There was no significant relationship between HL and clinical breast examination (CBE), and with perceived susceptibility.
conclusionInterventions to enhance breast cancer knowledge and screening should notice the HL of women.
