Rethinking screening mammography in Japan: next-generation breast cancer screening through breast awareness and supplemental ultrasonography.
Review in Breast cancer (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Breast cancer mortality has not been reduced in Japan despite more than 20 years of population-based screening mammography. Screening mammography might not be suitable for Japanese women who often have dense breasts, thus decreasing mammography sensitivity because of masking. The J-START study showed that breast ultrasonography increases the sensitivity and the detection rate for early invasive cancers and lowers the rate of interval cancers for Japanese women in their 40 s. Breast awareness and breast cancer survival are directly correlated; however, breast awareness is not widely known in Japan. Next-generation breast cancer screening in Japan should consist of breast awareness campaigns for improving breast cancer literacy and supplemental breast ultrasonography to address the problem of false-negative mammograms attributable to dense breasts.
