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

Introduction: To identify gaps in knowledge and attitudes that can inform targeted interventions and improve cervical cancer prevention strategies, this study was designed with the objective of assessing the level of knowledge, attitude and practice related to cervical cancer among adult women and associated factors with this in rural areas of Jaipur. Materials and Methods: This community-based analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 adult women in village Naila, Jaipur, for a period of 1 year from December 2021 to November 2022. Systematic random sampling was used to identify the houses, and women were selected for interview via simple random sampling. Institutional Ethics Committee approval and informed consent from study participants were taken. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The mean age of participants was 30 ± 9.7 years. Out of 300, 27 (9%) women had ever heard of cervical cancer. Most 189 (63%) women agreed to undergo screening for cervical cancer if opportunity was provided but only four (1.3%) women had practiced regular and/or yearly check-ups with doctors. Association of knowledge of cervical cancer was significant with socioeconomic status and caste ( Conclusion: Most of the women surveyed had poor knowledge about cervical cancer, its risk factors, signs and symptoms, causal relation with HPV, mode of transmission, screening method and prevention through HPV vaccination.
