Factors related to clinical breast examination: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background and Aim: Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women as well as one of the most serious and important public health issues in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the factors related to clinical breast examination in women in Tehran. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 859 women in Tehran, Iran in 2020. Logistic regression was applied to identify determinant factors that related to clinical breast examination. Result: The prevalence of clinical breast examination was 52.6%. Results indicated significant differences between those who underwent clinical breast examination and those who had a nonclinical breast examination in terms of age, housing conditions, marital status, problem in the breast, perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, fatalism, and self-care. Conclusion: It is essential to inform and educate women about breast cancer and associated complications and problems after being diagnosed with breast cancer as well as about the screening and diagnostic methods, including the need for clinical breast examination by a specialist.
