Patients' self-reported factors influencing cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV-positive women in low- and middle-income countries: An integrative review.

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
Cervical cancer is among the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite the strong evidence regarding cervical cancer screening cost-effectiveness, its utilization remains low especially in high risk populations such as HIV-positive women. The aim of this review was to provide an overview on the patient-reported factors influencing cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV-positive women living in LMICs. We systematically searched EMBASE, PUBMED/MEDLINE and Web of Science databases to identify all quantitative and qualitative studies investigating the patient-reported barriers or facilitators to cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV-positive population from LMICs. A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. A large number of barriers/facilitators were identified and then grouped into three categories of personal, social and structural variables. However, the most common influential factors include knowledge and attitude toward cervical cancer or its screening, embarrassment, fear of cervical cancer screening and test results, patient-healthcare provider relationship, social support, screening costs and time constraints. This review's findings highlighted the need for multi-level participation of policy makers, health professionals, patients and their families in order to overcome the barriers to uptake of cervical cancer screening among HIV-positive women, who are of special concern in LMICs.
