Uptake of cervical cancer screening among sex workers living with HIV in Nairobi, Kenya: a cross-sectional study.

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: Hospitals within Nairobi County, Kenya, offer cervical cancer screening services. However, most female sex workers do not seek this service. Objective: To determine uptake of cervical cancer screening among female sex workers living with HIV in Nairobi, Kenya. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Methods: Computerized simple random sampling was used to select 75 study participants who met the inclusion criteria; data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The study was carried out among female sex workers living with HIV in Nairobi, Kenya, attending the Sex Workers Outreach Program. Results: 40% ( Conclusion: Lack of information, cultural barriers, and facility operating hours prevent female sex workers living with HIV from getting tested for cervical cancer. These barriers once addressed could improve cervical cancer screening uptake among this high-risk population.
