Understanding mammographic breast density profile in China: A Sino-Australian comparative study of breast density using real-world data from cancer screening programs.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of clinical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimThis study aims at understanding mammographic density profile in China by comparing the density between women in China and Australia.
methodsData of 3250 women aged 45-69 were obtained from the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China and data of 1384 Australian counterparts at same age range were gathered from the Lifepool project. Demographic and reproductive details and mammograms for each cohort were collected. Mammographic density was assessed using AutoDensity, and two metrics, percentage density (PD) and dense area (DA), were applied. T-tests were used to compare the means of mammographic density between two populations of all, premenopausal, and postmenopausal women. Two-way ANOVA was conducted to examine interactions of population (Chinese/Australian) and each variable of interest upon mammographic density.
resultsChinese women had 9.61%, 8.20%, and 9.28% higher PD than their Australian counterparts in all, premenopausal, and postmenopausal women, respectively (all p < 0.001). The mean differences in DA between two population were 1.81 cm
conclusionsBoth PD and DA were found to be higher in Chinese women compared to Australian women. The density difference by menopause status was shown and breastfeeding history affected breast density differently in both populations.
