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

objectivesTo compare the mammographic densities and other characteristics of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women screened in Australia.

methodsPopulation screening programme data of Aboriginal (n = 857) and non-Aboriginal women (n = 3236) were used. Mann-Whitney U test compared ages at screening and Chi-square tests compared personal and clinical information. Logistic regression analysis was used for density groupings. OR and 95% CI were calculated for multivariate association for density.

resultsMammographic density was lower amongst Aboriginal women (P < 0.001). For non-Aboriginal women, higher density was associated with younger age (OR 2.4, 95% CI 2.1-2.8), recall to assessment (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.6-3.0), family history of breast cancer (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.2-1.6), English-speaking background (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.2-1.6), and residence in remote areas (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.4). For Aboriginal women, density was associated with younger age (OR 2.7, 95% CI 2.0-3.5; P < 0.001), and recall to assessment (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.4-3.9; P < 0.05).

conclusionsSignificant differences between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women were found. There were more significant associations for dense breasts for non-Aboriginal women than for Aboriginal women.
