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

This study examined the level of adherence to the recommended cervical cancer screening guidelines among Garifuna women residing in New York City, and screening practice association with demographic factors, access to healthcare services, perceptions/barriers to cervical cancer screening, acculturation, identity, and level of screening guideline knowledge. Four hundred Garifuna women were surveyed. The study results reveal low self-reported cervical cancer screening rates (60%), increased age, visiting a Garifuna healer in the past year, perceived benefits of receiving the screening test, and knowledge of the Pap test as having the highest predictive variability for receiving cervical cancer screening. The odds of having a Pap test were significantly lower in older women (age 65 years and above) and those visiting a traditional healer within the past year. The study findings provide several implications for developing culturally appropriate interventions aimed to increase the level of cervical cancer screening in this unique immigrant group.
