Culture Is Key: Engaging Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations in Breast Cancer Screening in High Income Contexts: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundBreast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and is the second highest cause of cancer mortality in Australian women. Screening in the form of mammography can significantly reduce mortality; however, research suggests that women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are less likely to participate in mammography screening. While there is an established body of literature describing the lower engagement of CALD populations in screening and the associated challenges they face, less is known about evidence-based interventions to improve engagement.
methodsA systematic scoping review was conducted to gain insights into best practice interventions to improve engagement of CALD populations in breast cancer screening. The search strategy followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. PUBMED, EMBASE and CINHAL databases were searched for studies published between January 2012 and October 2023.
resultsThe search yielded 3249 studies; after removing duplicates, 2011 titles and abstracts were screened, and 121 papers underwent full text review. Forty-one were included in the review. Key intervention types were identified, with combination or multi-component studies being most effective at increasing mammography in CALD populations. Cultural appropriateness and tailoring are the most important considerations to be integrated into screening programs.
conclusionCALD populations have lower engagement and experience many challenges in accessing screening services. This review found that the integration of cultural appropriateness and tailoring is critical in the successful delivery of breast screening services to CALD populations. Individual strategies are insufficient to engage this population in screening; multicomponent strategies are the most effective.
