Cervical Cancer Screening Uptake Among Women with Disabilities: Findings from a Cross-Sectional Study in Chile.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is one of the most effective methods for cervical cancer screening. However, women with disabilities are less likely to be screened. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in Pap test utilisation between women with and without disabilities and to analyse the demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related characteristics associated with Pap test uptake among women with disabilities in Chile. Data from the 2022 National Socioeconomic Characterization Survey were analysed, and 71,989 women between 18 and 75 years of age were included. The dependent variable was Pap test utilisation, and the exposure variable was disability. We used logistic regressions to control for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related covariates. The results showed that women with disabilities were less likely to undergo a Pap test compared to those without disabilities. Characteristics such as being married, being aged between 25 and 64 years, and having secondary or tertiary education increased the likelihood of Pap test utilisation. Conversely, being single, having received special education, and being inactive decreased these odds. Effective public health policies are needed that will increase Pap test utilisation for all population subgroups, including women with disabilities and, therefore, promote health equity.
