The Predictors for Non-Adherence to Colposcopy among Women in an Underserved Community in Rural Southern Western Nigeria.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. It is a major public health problem in developing countries. Effective cervical cancer screening requires that women adhere to the screening program. The factors that influence adherence to colposcopy in rural areas of Nigeria are unknown. The objective of the study was to determine the factors that 0determine adherence and the sexual and reproductive factors that are associated with non-adherence of women to colposcopy. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of a project undertaken to determine the age- specific incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection in Irun Akoko, a rural town in Ondo state of Nigeria. A total of 492 women with abnormal results from 1420 women that were screened were recalled for colposcopy examination. Results: The non-adherence rate for colposcopy in this study was 25.8%. Women younger than 40years (p=0.0011) and those with number of living children ≤2 (p=0.04) are more likely to be non-adherent to colposcopy. Conclusion: The non-adherence rate to colposcopy was high. Younger women and those with fewer children were more likely not to adhere to colposcopy.
