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

purposeOur research sought to describe barriers to mammography screening among a sample of predominantly Black women in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia.

methodsThe Pink Panel project convened community leaders from faith-based institutions to administer an offline survey to women via convenience sampling at fourteen churches in Atlanta in late 2019 and early 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the research team switched to an online survey. The survey included seven questions about breast cancer awareness, barriers to breast cancer screening, and screening status. We used residence information to attain the 9-digit zip code to link to the Area Deprivation Index at the Census Block Group neighborhood level. We report results as descriptive statistics of the barriers to mammography screening.

resultsThe 643 women represented 21 counties in Georgia, predominantly from metropolitan Atlanta, and 86% identified as Black. Among women aged 40 and older, 90% have ever had a mammogram. Among all women, 79% have ever had a mammogram, and 86% indicated that they would get a mammogram if offered in their neighborhood. The top barriers to mammography screening were lack of health insurance and high cost. Barriers to mammography screening did not differ substantially by Area Deprivation Index.

conclusionAmong metropolitan Atlanta women aged 40+ , nearly all reported ever having a mammogram. However, addressing the barriers, including lack of health insurance and high cost, that women reported may further improve mammography screening rates.
