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

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, perceptions, and satisfaction of Moroccan women who resided the Meknes-Tafilalt region regarding a newly implemented breast cancer screening program in the region. The study was conducted in 24 randomly selected health centers from Meknes-Tafilalt region, Morocco. We targeted all women who resided in the region of the program and who met the inclusion criteria to participate in the screening program. Data was collected through a face-to-face questionnaire. In this study, 318 women were included. Results revealed moderate knowledge of breast cancer and the screening program. Most of the participants (90.5%) had heard of the breast cancer screening program. Only 33.6% of women declared that they are well informed about the program. Fear emotions related to breast cancer were reported by 93.1% of participants. About 82% of women accept to repeat a screening test every 2 years. Recommending the breast cancer screening test to their family and friends was stated by nearly 90% of women. The majority of women (94.9%) expressed their satisfaction about the screening test activities provided by health centers. Our results showed a moderate level of knowledge about breast cancer, a very positive attitude, and high overall satisfaction towards the breast cancer screening program in the Meknes-Tafilalt region. These results can guide development of appropriate breast cancer prevention strategies and sensibilisation campaigns in Morocco.
