Perceptions of breast cancer screening programs and breast health among immigrant women: Qualitative study in Alberta.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo examine how women who have emigrated from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region perceive breast cancer risk and screening in Canada and how they approach breast health, and to explore barriers to breast cancer screening in this population.
designFocused ethnography.
settingEdmonton, Alta.
participantsWomen who were born in MENA countries (eg, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria) and had immigrated to Canada less than 5 years prior to study recruitment and lived in Edmonton, Alta.
methodsSix focus groups were conducted over a 6-week period in July and August 2018 with 6 participants in each group (N=36); results were analyzed thematically. MAIN
findingsThree broad themes were identified: knowledge about breast health, cancer risk, and screening services; barriers to maintaining breast health and to screening; and potential solutions for overcoming these barriers. Findings indicated participants have limited knowledge about breast cancer screening practices in Alberta and that multiple barriers to screening remain.
conclusionThis study can help inform the development of culturally appropriate interventions to overcome barriers and to motivate women from MENA countries to use breast cancer screening.
