1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPerforming appropriate and regular screening can effectively reduce cervical cancer and mortality rate, however, the available evidence suggests that women's participation in cervical cancer screening remains low in middle- and low-income countries, and that it is necessary to identify appropriate intervention methods to change behavior. The present study was designed to determine the effect of decision-aid-based counseling on cervical cancer screening behavior among women. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis trial study was conducted on 154 women with no history of Pap smear during the past 3 years and refers to Tabriz health care centers. The participants were assigned to the intervention (decision aid based counseling) and control (routine health education) groups through randomized block design with block sizes of 4 and 6 and a 1:1 allocation ratio. The data were collected using the sociodemographic and fertility characteristics, stages of change checklist, and shared decision-making (SDM) and decisional conflict (DC) questionnaire before and 6 months after the intervention by interview and then, analyzed by SPSS24 software. The independent

resultsA significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of changing the stages of cervical cancer screening behavior 6 months after the intervention. As after the intervention, the frequency of individuals entered the preparation or action stage was more than the control group (

conclusionsThis study revealed that evidence-based information communicated between clients and clinicians has very important role in clients' health-related behavior. It is recommended, health care providers apply decision-aid-based counseling for promoting the cervical cancer screening behavior among women.
