A Retrospective Chart Analysis Comparing Breast Cancer Detection Rates Between Annual Versus Biennial Mammograms.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 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
Background: Per American Cancer Society, breast cancer is one of the most prevalent causes of cancer-related mortality in women in the United States. Different organizations vary in their recommendations regarding frequency of mammograms, with the United State Preventive Service Taskforce recommending biennial screening and other organizations like American College of Radiology promoting annual screening. The purpose of this study was to analyze institutional data to compare breast cancer detection rates among women undergoing annual vs. biennial mammograms. Methods: In this retrospective chart review, we analyzed deidentified records of women aged 25 to 74 at Northeast Georgia Health System, who had undergone at least two screening mammograms and were diagnosed with primary breast cancer. We analyzed several variables including Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categorization, estrogen receptor (ER) status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, age, race, ethnicity, nodal involvement, smoking status, insurance status, grade, tumor size, number of screening mammograms, personal history of breast cancer, family history of breast cancer, and their correlation to screening frequency (annual vs. biennial vs. less than biennial). Results: Among the total 2,219 records that satisfied the inclusion criteria, we observed that BI-RADS categorization (P < 0.001), ER status (P = 0.003), and PR status (P = 0.001) were associated with mammogram screening frequency while the other variables were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Annual mammograms were associated with a lower BI-RADS stage and lower stage of breast cancer diagnosis.
