An Intervention to Increase Uptake of Cervical Cancer Screening Among Emergency Department Patients: Results of a Randomized Pilot Study.

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
backgroundEmergency departments (EDs) have the potential to promote critical public and preventive health interventions. Cervical cancer (CC) screening has been a cornerstone of preventive health efforts for decades. Approximately 20% of U.S. women are not adherent with CC screening guidelines-considerably below the U.S. Federal Government's target. ED patients are disproportionately nonadherent with CC screening guidelines. The ED, therefore, is an optimal setting to target women with an intervention that promotes CC screening.
objectivesTo assess the feasibility and potential efficacy of an intervention, grounded in behavioral change theory, to promote uptake of CC screening among ED patients.
methodsDesign: Randomized clinical trial pilot study; Patients: Women aged 21-65 years that were identified in the ED to be nonadherent with CC screening recommendations; Setting: Single center urban academic ED.
resultsAmong enrolled participants, 355 (79%) were determined to be adherent with screening recommendations and 95 (21%) were determined to be either nonadherent or have uncertain adherence. Among the nonadherent/uncertain group, 47 were randomized to the control condition (referral only) and 48 were randomized to the intervention condition. Thirty-six percent of participants in the control condition received or scheduled screening during the follow-up period. In the intervention condition, 43% received or scheduled screening during the follow-up period-a 19% relative improvement over the control condition.
conclusionThis pilot study demonstrates feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a behavioral intervention to increase uptake of CC screening among ED patients.
