Perspectives of Healthcare Providers and the General Population on a Cancer Awareness Portal: a Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study was aimed at a qualitative assessment of a cancer informational website, "India Against Cancer," developed by the ICMR-National Institute of Cancer Prevention and Research with the dual purpose of promoting cancer awareness among the general population and providing comprehensive information to healthcare providers. We used the narrative qualitative approach (data collection using in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focused group discussions (FGDs)) and content analysis. Purposive sampling was undertaken for both IDIs and FGDs. Thematic analysis was done on four themes: general cancer awareness, ease of comprehension of the Web portal, the relevance of the website content, and general comments and suggestions. Readability assessment of content of the website was conducted using Flesch-Kincaid Readability methodology. The general cancer awareness was enhanced among the participants after visiting the website. Ease of comprehension of the Web portal content was reported to fare well. The sections on "risk factors," "warning signs," and "diet and cancer" were mentioned as most relevant by the general population, whereas "myths and facts" and "screening guidelines" were most relevant for the healthcare workers. Similarly, references and epidemiology sections were most useful for healthcare researchers/professionals. Readability scores of content in English were appropriate for high school pass audience. The content on "India Against Cancer" website was found to serve its intended purpose of promoting cancer awareness among the general population and providing authentic cancer-related information to the healthcare providers. The suggestions received would enable us to enhance the utility of our website by tailoring it to the needs of the target audience.
