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

Self-sampling for oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) offers an alternative to the Papanicolaou (Pap) test for cervical cancer screening. We aimed to assess Inuit women's cervical cancer screening preferences. Eligible Inuit women aged between 25 and 65 in 2022-2023 were given the choice between self-sampling, sampling performed solely by the nurse or the Pap test and were administered a questionnaire on screening preference. Thematic analysis was performed on qualitative data collected through a questionnaire asking if and why women prefer HPV self-sampling or the Pap test for cervical cancer screening. A total of 103 women agreed to participate. Of these, 12 (11.6%) chose to have the nurse perform the HPV test rather than self-collect. Among the 91 left for analysis, 80.2% (73) of women who self-sampled preferred self-sampling to the Pap test and 82.4% (75) would prefer self-sampling in the future. The most common reason given was comfortability (54.9%) and privacy (25.2%). Participants that did not prefer self-sampling (
