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
Background: Breast cancer in African women is characterized by early onset, late presentation, and consequently poor prognosis. The reason for the late presentation was the delay by patients, due to ignorance, superstition, a skeptical attitude towards western medicine, and dependency on traditional medicine. Objective: The aim of our study was to assess the factors of late presentation at Khartoum Oncology hospital of women suffering from breast cancer. Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was implemented to assess the causes related to late presentation of women with breast cancer. Statistical analysis tests done to assess associations among variables were performed through chi Results: 250 females with breast cancer were studied, their age ranged between 22 years and 77 years with a median of 50 years. Barriers to early presentation were the duration of the condition before presentation ( Conclusion: Fear and seeking treatment alternatives strongly contributed to late presentation. The lack of education and the unawareness about breast self-examination (BSE) are issues needed to be addressed by authorities.
