The effect of the health belief model education for cervical cancer prevention, screening promotion among rural women in Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu (HBMECC).
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe objective of this interventional study is to investigate the efficacy of health belief model-based health education in screening promotion and improving awareness about cervical cancer prevention. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 370 rural married respondents were selected using a multistage random sampling method. To gather information from study participants before and after the six-month intervention period, the standard questionnaire instrument paired with a health belief model and cervical cancer knowledge assessments was employed. This quasi-experimental study incorporated health belief model-based education for 45 minutes, supplemented by audio-visual, flipchart, and interactive sessions, and regular motivation was given once every three days until the call for mass screening camps, which were held every 15 days. The data was imported into Excel and analyzed using SPSS 21. A paired test for pre- and post-intervention significance and a cross-tab test for association was utilized. At the end of the study, the percentage of all women screened was estimated.
resultsThe findings revealed that 37.8% of participants were between the ages of 30 and 40, 32.7% had no formal education, and 42% were housewives. The pre-and post-test mean scores for knowledge about cervical cancer and prevention differed, with a mean value difference of 4 for signs of cervical cancer, 24.32 for risk factors, 1.31 for the cervical cancer screening (Pap) test, 1.07 for vaccination, and 0.48 for attitude toward self-assessment of cervical cancer symptoms and attitude toward screening. By the end of the study, 39% of the women had been screened in a mass screening camp and from outside sources.
conclusionThe health belief model, therefore, assisted in increasing the required information and addressed the perception regarding screening obstacles, consequently increasing the screening rate, and can thus be implemented as an appropriate strategy for instructing women about cervical cancer screening and prevention.
