Evaluation of Breast Cancer (BC) Awareness among Female University Students in Zarqa University, Jordan.
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 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
objectiveThe purposes of this study were to assess the level of Breast Cancer (BC) awareness of Jordanian female university students, measure their attitudes toward BC treatment, and compare the level of awareness and attitudes of students in the science and humanities faculties. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe current study was cross-sectional and conducted among female students in Zarqa University in Jordan. Stratified random sampling and simple random sampling were employed to select the colleges and the students, respectively. The sample size was 326 students. Data was collected and analyzed by self-administered questionnaire and SPSS version 23.0, respectively.
resultsThe number (proportion) of university students who had poor levels of awareness of BC, general knowledge about BC scale, knowledge about BC symptoms scale, and knowledge about risk factors of BC scale were was 270 (83%), 166 (51%), 182 (56%) and 292 (90%), respectively. Also, 92 (28%) students and 234 (72%) students had high and medium attitudes toward BC treatment, respectively. There were significant differences between the humanities and science faculties students' awareness about BC and their attitudes toward BC treatment (p<0.05). Also, the results revealed that the students' main information source about BC was mainly health-care professionals, followed by internet and television.
conclusionThe current status of awareness of BC among Jordanian female students and their attitudes toward BC treatment are insufficient. Therefore, university compulsory courses need to be modified to include BC topics and promote awareness about BC.
