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

backgroundScreening represents a cornerstone of cervical cancer control strategy. However, disparities in social determinants of health have perpetuated gaps in screening among racial and ethnic minorities. Social determinants of health including cultural stigma and lack of insurance have contributed to decreased screening among Hispanic women. To increase cancer screening in this population, community-academic partnerships and culturally tailored media have emerged as promising strategies.

methodsThis study assessed the impact of a culturally tailored cervical cancer screening campaign implemented through academic-community-government partnerships. Intercept surveys, conducted from 2015 to 2018 in eastern neighborhoods of Los Angeles, assessed campaign recall, interpretation, and screening intention among Hispanic women aged 21-65 years after exposure to the campaign. Screening intention was evaluated using χ2 and logistic regression by participant characteristics, with thematic analysis for campaign interpretation.

resultsOf 673 participants, 26.1% were uninsured, and 85.9% primarily spoke Spanish at home. Campaign recall was 25.1%, with 64.5% interpreting the campaign's message as cervical cancer screening or health checkups. The campaign's most liked aspect was emphasis on family (cited by 37.1% of participants). Postcampaign, 89.5% of participants overall were likely or extremely likely to schedule a Pap test, including 83.5% of women who had not had a Pap test in the past 3 years.

conclusionsOur findings underscore several important strategies to reduce cervical cancer disparities: (1) associating positive cultural values with screening to decrease stigma, (2) combining culturally tailored outreach with interventions that target other known screening barriers, (3) facilitating long-term community relationships, and (4) leveraging academic-community-government partnerships.
