Awareness of and Attitude to Breast Self-Examination and Breast Cancer Among Females in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Background Breast cancer is the most common of all female cancers worldwide. A large percentage are diagnosed at a late stage, which can be related to awareness and knowledge deficiency. We aimed to assess the level of knowledge of and attitude to breast cancer and breast self-examination in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 392 women in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Using a non-probability sampling technique, a self-administered validated questionnaire was distributed via social media. Inclusion criteria were ages above 18 years old of all educational levels. Results Out of 392 participants, there were 146 in the age group of 19-25 (37.2%). Most of the participants are aware of breast cancer (94.9%). The mean knowledge score was 6.9 ± 3.36. Ninety-two percent (92%) of participants had poor knowledge. Most respondents reported that the main risk factor for breast cancer was family history (83.7%). About 37% believed that the purpose of the breast self-examination practice is advice from a health care professional followed by routine examination (37.3%). About 97% agreed that early detection of breast cancer increases the chance of recovery. Conclusion There is a lack of knowledge and awareness about the risk factors and symptoms of breast cancer. Despite a positive attitude toward breast self-examination, it is poorly practiced.
