Association between Breast Cancer Knowledge and Mammogram Utilization among Immigrant Muslim Arab Women in California: Cross-Sectional Design.

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
backgroundRegular mammogram screenings have contributed to early breast cancer (BC) diagnoses and lowered the mortality rate by 40% in the United States of America (USA). Nonetheless, ethnic women living in developed countries, such as immigrant Muslim Arab women (IMAW), are less likely to get mammograms. AIM OF THE STUDY: In our study, we aimed to understand health behaviors among IMAWs as understudied populations in the USA.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study on a convenience sample of IMAW living in southern California. We used logistic regression and multivariate logistic regressions to analyze the data.
resultsThe total number of participants who completed the survey was 184 IMAW. Participants who had a higher level of knowledge about BC signs and symptoms and mammogram knowledge were more likely to have obtained a mammogram at some point compared with their counterparts (OR = 1.23,
conclusionsOur results provide more evidence emphasizing the important influence of BC and mammogram knowledge on immigrant women's behavior regarding mammogram utilization. The average level of knowledge in all three domains (BC risk factors, BC signs and symptoms, and mammogram use) reported in this study is considered low.
