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

purposeTo identify barriers to breast cancer screening in BIPOC/immigrant populations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and to hear women's voices in these communities regarding interventions that may improve participation in breast cancer screening.

methodsThe study had two components: surveys and focus group discussions. Participants were women by birth, over 30 years of age, and from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities living or working in Minnesota.

resultsForty-one participants from BIPOC communities participated. Common themes of barriers to breast cancer screening across all communities were: psychosocial, finances, lack of knowledge, healthcare system, community and culture, and logistics.

conclusionAddressing barriers to breast cancer screening in Twin Cities BIPOC populations requires a multipronged approach that addresses knowledge gaps, psychosocial barriers, and logistical and financial barriers, delivered in a culturally acceptable format and in convenient locations.
