Method of detection, determinants and subsequent treatments for breast, cervical and prostate cancers in Edo-Benin, Nigeria.

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
purposeThis study sought to describe the methods of detection (MOD), their determinants and association with type of treatments received for breast, cervical and prostate cancers using a population-based cancer registry in Nigeria.
methodsThe study analyzed incident breast (n = 205), cervical (n = 147), and prostate (n = 250) cancers from the Edo-Benin Cancer Registry (EBCR) from 2016 to 2018. The MOD was assigned as health check-up detected or clinically detected. Case proportion ratios (CPR) were used to compare MOD across determinant levels. Statistical association between demographic determinants and MOD were assessed using binomial regression.
resultsAmong the cancers recorded by the EBCR, 46% of breast (n = 205), 43% of cervical (n = 146), and 50% of prostate (n = 250) cases were identified through health check-ups. MOD was not significantly linked to age or marital status. Health check-ups were less common in those with less than tertiary education [breast, CPR 0.61 (95% CI 0.46-0.80), cervical, CPR 0.73 (95% CI 0.49-1.08), prostate, CPR 0.64 (95% CI 0.50-0.82)]. Significantly, more cancers detected via health check-ups were assigned to palliative care compared to clinical detection (breast: 76% vs. 58%, cervical: 80% vs. 59%, prostate: 83% vs. 64%).
conclusionHealth check-up campaigns are a key source of new cases in EBCR, but cancers detected through them are more often assigned to palliative care than those detected clinically. The findings suggest that efforts at early detection are not expressed in treatments assignment. Pre-symptomatic individuals should be encouraged to participate in health check-ups and proper treatment made available to improve these programmes.
