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

objectiveTo investigate the impact of combined use of fixed and mobile mammography units to rationalize the management of breast cancer screening programs and increase population coverage.

methodsAn observational study was performed using agents-based modeling. The model was used to simulate breast cancer screening coverage in a specific region in the state of Rio de Janeiro (

resultsFor the two-year period, a 60% population coverage could be reached with eight mammography units (five fixed and three mobile). Considering a scenario in which 100% of the eligible population would undergo screening, 11 units would be required (seven fixed and four mobile units). The actual coverage in the region for the 2015-2016 biennium was 36.4%, with 22 mammography units performing four exams daily.

conclusionsThe present simulation showed that it would be possible to reduce by half the number of mammography units in the region, ensuring 100% coverage. Adding more mobile units would facilitate access by the population from cities without installed mammography units and from rural areas.
