Exploring women's preferences for HPV-based cervical cancer screening in South Africa.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 determine preferences for HPV-based cervical cancer screening among South African women.
methodsA discrete choice experiment survey was conducted among 298 women who attended two public-sector clinics in South Africa from February 1 to May 31, 2018. Participants chose between hypothetical screening scenarios: method of swab collection (self or provider); timing of treatment (same day or return visit); type of clinic (static or mobile); cost of services (US $0 or US $4); and time spent at the clinic (30, 60, or 120 minutes). A logistic regression model was generated to evaluate the importance of each attribute. A market simulation analysis was performed to determine potential uptake of the various screening strategies.
resultsThe participants expressed strong preferences for free services (β=0.50; P<0.001) and same-day HPV testing and treatment (β=0.40; P<0.001). The market simulation indicated that 83.8% of women would be willing to undergo screening if services were free; the swab was collected by the provider; and treatment was offered at a return visit. Including same-day testing and treatment in the model increased uptake to 96.4%.
conclusionOffering same-day HPV testing and treatment could substantially improve uptake of cervical cancer screening in the South African public healthcare sector.
