Factors Influencing Recommended Cancer Screening in Low-Income African American Women in Tennessee.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThis study examined the factors that predict recommended screening compliance to cervical, breast, and colorectal cancers in low-income African American women. It also examined obstacles to screenings by geographic region and screening status.
methodsAs a part of the Meharry Community Networks Program (CNP) needs assessment, a 123-item community survey was administered to assess demographic characteristics, health care access and utilization, and screening practices for various cancers in low-income African Americans. For this study, only African American women 40 years and older (n = 308) were selected from the Meharry CNP community survey database.
resultsThere were several predictors to recommended screening such as being employed and having health insurance (P < 0.05). Additionally, the obstacles to screening posed a similar level of difficulty for participants from different geographic areas. DISCUSSION: Sociodemographic differences and obstacles of screening need to be addressed in educational interventions aimed at improving cancer screenings.
