1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeWomen living with human immunodeficiency virus (WLWH) have a higher risk of cervical cancer than women without HIV. In addition, women in India experience a high burden of death from cervical cancer. This qualitative study evaluated individual and interpersonal factors influencing cervical cancer screening among WLWH in Surat, India.

methodsIn-depth interviews were conducted with 25 WLWH and 15 stakeholders in Surat, India. Data were analyzed using directed content analysis to identify individual and intrapersonal barriers and facilitators.

resultsWLWH lacked knowledge and reported being afraid of cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening but were interested in learning more about it. Interpersonal factors influencing cervical cancer screening included receipt or lack of instrumental and emotional family support, interactions with healthcare providers, and receipt or lack of information about cervical cancer and the Pap test from healthcare providers.

conclusionWidespread public education is necessary to increase awareness of cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening and to encourage family members to support women who wish to obtain screening. Patient- and provider-focused interventions may facilitate the process of providing cervical cancer care to WLWH who are obtaining care in busy public healthcare systems in India.
