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
Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases of women, which can increase the survival of patients with its early diagnosis. Despite the existence of relatively sensitive methods of early detection of breast cancer, such as mammography, statistics show that a small number of women perform mammography according to the recommended clinical guidelines. Using the health belief model, this study aims to determine the factors affecting mammography among women teachers in Hamedan.
methodsThis study was conducted on 458 female teachers aged 40 years and older of Hamadan city, in western part of Iran, during October to December of 2019. The participants were asked about the factors affecting mammography based on the health belief model. Questionnaires were completed by self-reported method and analyzed by SPSS software at 95% confidence interval.
resultsThe average age of the study participants was 46±4.1 years. Among the participants, about 41.5% had performed mammography at least once. In univariate analysis, the constructs of the health belief model generally predicts performing mammography between 35 and 49 percent. In multivariate analysis, age 46 to 50 years, having supplementary insurance, history of breast disease, perceived barriers with odds ratio of 3.4, 3.4, 10.6 and .89, respectively, were significantly related to mammography.
conclusionsFemale teachers over 45 years of age with a history of breast disease, if they do not have financial or other barriers to do mammography, perform breast cancer screening.
