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

Immigrants and refugees have an increased risk for developing chronic health conditions, such as breast and colorectal cancer, the longer they reside in the USA. Moreover, refugees are less even likely to use preventive health services like mammography and colonoscopy screening when compared with US-born counterparts. Focused ethnography was employed to examine sociocultural factors that influenced cancer screening behaviors among aging Afghan refugee women. We conducted 19 semi-structured interviews with Afghan women 50 and older and their family member/caregivers. Interview transcripts were inductively coded using Atlas.ti, where focused codes were sorted and reduced into categories, and we extracted meaning around groups of categories. Findings of this study revealed factors like fear of cancer, pre-migration experiences, family involvement, provider recommendation, and provider gender concordance influenced women's cancer screening behaviors. This study also found that women who have had a recent mammogram or colonoscopy described empowerment factors that helped them withstand the stressful process of screening, through encouragement and reminders from providers, support from adult family members, and finding strength through duaas (prayers). As refugee women continue to age in the USA, clinicians should incorporate multi-level strategies, including family-centered and faith-based approaches to promote preventive screening behaviors in this population.
