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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cancer information burden, attitudes, and behaviors toward cancer screening in women aged 30-70 years who applied to family health centers.
methodsThe data were collected with Personal Information Form, Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening, and Cancer Information Overload Scale from 398 women.
resultsThe mean score of the participants was 16.22±4.66 on the Cancer Information Overload Scale and 93.05±13.80 on the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening. A statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the women according to their educational level, occupational status, knowledge about cancer screening, and the presence of cancer in themselves or their families (p<0.05). In addition, a strong positive but statistically insignificant correlation (r=0.061, p=0.223) was found between the Cancer Information Overload Scale and the scores of the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening.
conclusionWomen had low rates of knowing the timing of colon, cervical, and breast cancer screenings, having been screened, and thinking of participating in screenings in the following year. In order to improve women's attitudes toward early diagnosis of cancer in a positive way, informative public education activities should be continued.
