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
backgroundBreast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women in Greece. It is crucial to have a simple, trustworthy and effective instrument for assessing the factors that impact cancer screening behaviors.
objectiveThis study aimed to translate and validate the Greek version of the Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Questionnaire (BCSBQ).
methodsIn this cross-sectional methodological study conducted from April to June 2024, 202 Greek women aged 21 to 69 years participated using a snowball sampling method. A backward-forward translation process was performed on the BCSBQ. The study evaluated the face, content, and constructs validity of the questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to determine whether the data supported the 3-factor structure of the instrument. Additionally, the reliability of the BCSBQ was measured using Cronbach's alpha and intra-class correlation coefficients.
resultThe results of the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the presence of three distinct factors: attitude, knowledge, and barriers to screening. The three-factor model was supported by standard indices, with the following values: chi-square = 112.5, RMSEA = 0.079, SRMR = 0.057, CFI = 0.94, and NNFI = 0.942. The instrument also showed a satisfactory Cronbach's alpha of 0.814, while the Cronbach's alpha values for the three subscales ranged from 0.72 to 0.84. The mean scores observed on the three subscales in this study were remarkably high (Attitudes=76.7±23.9, Knowledge=80.9±20.1, Barriers=89.9±12.7).
conclusionThe three-factor structure of the BCSBQ-12 demonstrated valid and reliable results among Greek women. Given its strong psychometric properties, this tool can be utilized in future studies to assess women's beliefs regarding breast cancer screening in Greece.
