Dense breast tissue in screened postmenopausal women: Prevalence and determinants.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2024. 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
objectivesTo explore the prevalence of dense breast tissue among screened postmenopausal women and identify the factors influencing breast density in this population.
methodsA retrospective analysis of data from postmenopausal women screened for breast cancer in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between April 2017 and June 2021 was carried out. Breast density was subjectively assessed, and influencing factors were retrieved from the hospital information system. Proportions were used for descriptive analysis, and binary logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of dense breast tissue.
resultsOnly 12.7% of the postmenopausal women had dense breast tissue. Non-Saudi women (odds ratio [OR]=1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.07-3.54],
conclusionThe prevalence of dense breast tissue among screened postmenopausal women was low. However, certain factors increase the risk of having dense tissue in this population, including not being Saudi Arabian, never having breastfed, being nulliparous, and having fewer children.
