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 among women is an increasing public health issue. Early detection is the backbone of treatment thus reducing late presentation, morbidity and mortality. In this study, we explored knowledge and use of breast cancer screening among women of reproductive age in Oyo State Secretariat, Ibadan.
methodsDescriptive cross-sectional research design was employed to gather data from 204 female workers who consented through purposive sampling technique. A validated semi-structured questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.75 was used. Ethical protocols were duly followed. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages and chi-squared tests at significant level of 0.05 using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 20.
resultsMost of the respondents (82.2%) had adequate knowledge of breast self-examination (BSE) and mammogram, but there was a relatively lower level of utilization of these screening measures. Also, there were significant associations between knowledge, level of education and use of BSE and mammogram (p<0.05).
conclusionsIn addition to educating women on BSE and mammogram, continuous efforts should be made through workshops and various media to emphasize the significance of practice. This could increase the use of the screening measures leading to a reduction in morbidity and mortality.
