Female medical students' awareness, attitudes, and knowledge about early detection of breast cancer in Syrian Private University, Syria.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
introductionBreast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women, impacting 2.1 million women each year, and also causes the greatest number of cancer-related deaths among women. The study aims to determine the community awareness levels in our country and extrapolate knowledge and awareness about the methods of early detection.
methodsIt was performed as cross-sectional study in Syrian Private University in Damascus, Syria from January to March 2019. The population included female students of all years in medical faculties: medicine, pharmacy and dentistry collages. Data collection have been done by breast cancer awareness measure (BCAM) questionnaire.
resultsThe total participants were 407 divided into three faculties. The average knowledge rate was (57.5%). (70 %) of participants were not familiar with mammography. It is a good result that (86.7 %) acquainted about self-examination and (94.8%) believe that it is very important. But it is obvious that the practical side is poor, there were (32.7%) of students who apply BSE.
conclusionThis study showed a lack of awareness among medical students. Perhaps the most important reason is the lack of awareness programs that must include all strata of society, especially students of medical colleges and doctors for their important role in spreading awareness to avoid this danger that surrounds our ladies.
