Barriers and facilitators of the implementation of mammography screening in the Brazilian public health system: scoping review.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere are high incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in Brazil. Brazilian's social and economic disparities, along with complexities of its health system pose challenges to the appropriate implementation of mammography screening as a public policy for the population. In 2015, the Ministry of Health updated the recommendations for the early detection of breast cancer, which had, until then, been based on specialists' consensus, maintaining biennial screening mammography for women aged 50-69 years. However, the screening coverage did not exceed 25% of the expected number of exams for the Brazilian population who use the public health system. The objective of this study was to analyze barriers and facilitators (determinants) of opportunistic mammography screening in the Brazilian public health system.
methodsWe conducted a scoping review to examine the extent to which guidelines have been implemented from 2015 to 2025, excluding those that (1) did not include the population aged 50 to 69 years, (2) did not discuss mammographic screening in the Brazilian public health system, (3) included populations with cancer or at high risk of cancer. Results were coded into the domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
resultsIn the 85 articles selected, we coded 74 determinants, 50 referring to barriers and 24 to facilitators. The barriers were related to the outer setting 18(24.3%), inner setting 11(14.9%), characteristics of individuals 9(12.2%), process 6(8.1%), and intervention characteristics 6(8.1%). The facilitators were related to the outer setting 14(18.9%), inner setting 5(6.8%), intervention characteristics 3(4.1%) and individual characteristics 2(2.7%).
conclusionUsing CFIR helps understand the multiple interrelated factors that affect the implementation of opportunistic mammographic screening in the Brazilian public health system. Our results can provide initial data for further studies that aim to improve and organize the implementation of mammography screening in Brazil.
