The cross-sectional association between lifestyle behaviors and breast and cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women along the Texas-Mexico border.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. 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
Objective: Lifestyle behaviors may influence timely cancer screening, but their relationship is unknown among Hispanic women who have low cancer screening rates. Methods: We used Cameron County Hispanic Cohort data from 2014 to 2022 to evaluate the relationship between lifestyle and compliance with mammography and Papanicolaou (Pap) screening guidelines ("up-to-date") among Hispanic women along the Texas-Mexico border. The 2018 World Cancer Research Fund scoring system characterized cancer-preventive lifestyle adherence. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the association between lifestyle behaviors and mammography and, separately, Pap screening. Results: Among 385 age-eligible women for mammography and 412 age-eligible women for Pap test screening, up-to-date mammography and Pap screening were seen in 66.7 % (95 % CI: 58.8-73.7 %) and 71.4 % (95 % CI: 63.6-78.0 %) of women, respectively. Compared to non-adherence, adherence to waist circumference (AOR adjusted odds ratio 9.1, 95 % CI: 1.1-77.9; Conclusions: Differential factors were associated with increased odds of being up-to-date with mammography versus Pap test screening. Lifestyle behavior promotion complements cancer prevention interventions. Contextual insight into the association between lifestyle and cancer screening provides a foundation for future endeavors to augment these two core components of cancer prevention to address Hispanic women's rising breast and cervical cancer risk.
