Navigating Breast Cancer Screening in Rural Missouri: From Patient Navigation to Social Navigation.
Article in Medical anthropology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The National Cancer Institute recently identified rural cancer disparities as a priority issue, dedicating resources to rural cancer prevention, presenting opportunities and also risks. We bring an anthropological concept, social navigation, to bear on a popular public health intervention, patient navigation, increasingly proposed as an "evidence-based" approach to reducing health disparities. Our study of mammography in the Missouri Bootheel demonstrates how such interventions elide the shifting terrain and slow violence of rural health care where people must improvise care through trying out or sticking with providers, negotiating self-advocacy and deference, or changing screening timelines amidst structural constraints and rural stereotypes.
