Validating self-reported cervical cancer screening among women leaving jails.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundDespite women with criminal justice involvement reporting routine Papanicolaou (Pap) testing, significant disparities in cervical cancer outcomes exist when compared to women without criminal justice involvement. A possible reason for the discrepancy is that this group of women may be misreporting Pap testing. The objective of this study was to validate self-reported cervical cancer screening among women leaving jails.
methodsWe used three methods to validate self-reported cervical cancer screening for women recently released from jail: 1) Medical record review; 2) Semi-structured interview; 3) Pap test knowledge survey. After validating women's self-reported Pap tests with a review of their medical records, we scored interviews for Pap test recall, and used Pap test knowledge survey scores to compare scores between women who accurately reported Pap tests vs. those who did not.
resultsSixty-one percent (N = 14/23) self-reported cervical cancer screenings were accurate per medical record review. Comparing participants who did and did not accurately self-report a Pap test, we found a significant difference in Pap test recall scores (1.90 vs. 0.00, t = 3.87, p < .01) and Pap test knowledge scores (13.50 vs. 12.13, t = 2.42, p < .05).
conclusionSelf-report of cervical cancer screening was more likely to be accurate if a woman's Pap test knowledge was high. Clinicians might take extra care in describing screening and distinguishing between Pap tests and pelvic exams to support the cervical health of women with lower knowledge.
