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

backgroundThe behavioral aspects of human beings influence the incidences of cancer cases directly and indirectly. The factors like positive thinking and motivation were found to change the behavior toward knowledge and awareness of cancer. The main objective of the study is to assess the knowledge and awareness of select Indians about reproductive cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe online survey method assessed various components of knowledge and awareness about reproductive cancer. A Google Form has been distributed through social media platforms such as e-mail, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. The coded data has been computed in SPSS (version 25) by IBM (USA) for the analysis. Univariate and bivariate data analysis has been drawn to justify the objective.

resultsNearly 68 percent of the respondents were aware of reproductive cancer. Among them, 17 percent know about cervical cancer, and 12.5 percent have awareness about breast cancer. Electronic and print media (41.2 percent) were major sources of information about reproductive cancer. Nearly 48 percent of respondents reported that multiple sexual partners and poor sexual hygiene were risk factors for reproductive cancer. Around 57 percent of respondents reported reproductive cancer is preventable, 59 percent knew about cancer screening, and 63.5 percent knew the treatment process. The gender of the respondents was associated (p-value = 0.002) with awareness of reproductive cancer. It has been found that there is a significant association between knowledge of screening tests and the treatment process of reproductive cancer. The marital status of respondents is strongly associated (p-value = 0.000) with the awareness of reproductive cancer.

conclusionThe factors like knowledge of reproductive cancer and awareness proceed as an important role in cancer prevention. A gender-neutral cancer awareness program is needed to increase cancer awareness irrespective of marital status.
