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

purposeTo assess the acceptability of integrated screening for cervical cancer and HIV in the community setting.

methodsWe developed surveys for patients and community health workers (CHWs) who participated in the Advances in Screening and Prevention in Reproductive Cancers (ASPIRE) Mayuge trial that compared self-collected human papillomavirus testing at home versus community health meetings in Mayuge district, Uganda. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Open-ended questions were analyzed using an inductive approach with thematic content analysis.

resultsWe conducted 102 patient surveys and 31 CHW surveys between June and August 2021. Ninety-nine percent of patients and 100% of CHWs indicated that they would find the addition of an HIV test to their self-collected cervical cancer test acceptable. The most frequently stated reasons in favor of adding an HIV test to the ASPIRE Mayuge cervical cancer screening pathways were time-saving, privacy, and support from other women and CHWs. The most frequently stated reasons against integrated screening were related to concerns about confidentiality, most often in reference to women's family members and other women in their village.

conclusionIntegrated community-based cervical cancer and HIV testing would be highly acceptable to both women and CHWs.
