Factors associated with cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV in the Kilimanjaro region, northern Tanzania: A cross-sectional study.

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
Despite cervical cancer being a highly preventable disease, it is the fourth most common cancer among women in both incidence and mortality. Cervical cancer screening is crucial in preventing the disease. Women living with HIV (WLHIV) are at higher risk of cervical cancer because of their immune-compromised state. We aimed to determine factors associated with cervical cancer screening among WLHIV in the Kilimanjaro region, northern Tanzania. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Kilimanjaro region among 297 WLHIV attending care and treatment centers (CTC) in northern Tanzania between August 21 and September 3, 2020; and interviewed using a questionnaire. Logistic regression model determined factors associated with cervical cancer screening at 5% significance level. Half (50.2 %) of the 297 WLHIV had ever screened for cervical cancer. WLHIV with positive attitudes towards cervical cancer screening (AOR = 3.48, 95 % CI 1.86, 6.51) and those who received information on cervical cancer from Health Care Providers (HCP) (AOR = 17.31, 95 % CI 6.00, 50.22) had higher odds of ever being screened for cervical cancer. Lower odds of screening (AOR = 0.50, 95 % CI 0.27, 0.96) were among women diagnosed with HIV within the past three years. WLHIV having a positive attitude towards screening and received cervical cancer screening information from HCP, were likely to have ever screened. Women newly diagnosed with HIV are less likely to have ever screened. HCPs at CTC are an important source of information about screening and for promoting cervical cancer screening among WLHIV. Special attention should be given to women newly diagnosed with HIV.
