Correlates of cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV in Kenya: A cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveCervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among Kenyan women. It is important to identify how demographics and knowledge of cervical cancer are associated with screening to determine best practices for targeted screening efforts.
methodsWe conducted a sub-analysis of women who were asked about cervical cancer from a cross-sectional study of women attending large HIV care and treatment programs across Kenya between June and September 2016.
results1671 of 3007 (56%) women reported ever being screened, 804 (48%) of whom were screened within the last 12 months. Prevalence of screening was highest among women who were older (adjusted prevalence ratio [APR] age 35-49 vs. 18-24: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.68-3.05, P < 0.001), employed (APR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.24-1.93, P < 0.001), married (APR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.01-1.59, P = 0.047), had at least secondary education (APR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.19-1.77, P < 0.001), with longer time since HIV diagnosis (APR: 1.09/year average increase, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13, P < 0.001). 36% knew cervical cancer is treatable.
conclusionCharacteristics linked to social or economic capital are correlated with cervical cancer screening. Integrating cervical cancer screening into HIV care and educating patients on the need for annual screening and potential treatment are important strategies for increasing screening uptake.
