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
The burden and experiences that come with a breast cancer diagnosis in a family impact how women perceive personal cancer risk and pursue preventive strategies and/or early detection screening. Hence, this study sought to understand how Filipino women incorporate their experiences living with a sister diagnosed with early-onset breast cancer to their personal perceived risk and screening behavior. Guided by phenomenological approach of inquiry, a face-to-face, semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 purposively sampled women with a female sibling diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results revealed that the respondents tend to compare themselves with their sister when constructing views of personal cancer vulnerability. The subjective risk is also shaped by their beliefs regarding cancer causation such as personalistic causes, personal theory of inheritance, and locus of control. Their sisters' cancer diagnoses serve as a motivation for them to perform breast self-examination. However, clinical breast examination and screening mammography are underutilized due to perceived barriers such as difficulty allotting time to medical consultation, fear, and lack of finances. Overall, cancer risk perception and screening behavior are important factors that must be addressed during cancer genetic counseling consultations. Better understanding of these factors will aid in the formulation of an effective management plan for at-risk women.
