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

To study deficiencies in knowledge of the general public health-care professionals in community health service centers regarding the prevention of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. In addition, this study examined the key content of training required for primary health-care personnel to prevent cervical precancerous lesion and cervical cancer.A questionnaire was distributed among 172 medical staff personnel (the ratio of general practitioners and nurses was 1:1 in five community health service centers in Shanghai, China. This questionnaire assessed four knowledge areas of cervical cancer prevention using 10 single-choice questions.Out the 172 questionnaires distributed, 105 (61.05%) were completed correctly. No statistically significant difference in the percentage of complete correct answers among the five community health service centers was seen (P = .06). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the percentage of correct answers among the three age groups surveyed: age ≤35 years, 36-45 years, and ≥46 years (P = .12). We did find a statistically significant difference in the percentage of correct answers between general practitioners and nurses (P = .01) and between staff with master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, and associate's degrees (P = .03).General practitioners and nurses in community health service centers in Shanghai require additional education on the secondary prevention of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. The health knowledge related to human papillomavirus also needs to improve. Nurses and medical staff with lower degrees have insufficient awareness of the prevention of precancerous lesions of the cervix and cervical cancer; these two groups should be prioritized for additional training.
