1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females globally, and the leading cause of female cancer deaths. The 2023 World Health Organisation Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework aims to prevent 2·5 million deaths from breast cancer by 2040. Early detection of breast cancer is central to this goal, and population-based breast screening is key to early detection. A more risk-adjusted approach to screening within current target age ranges, whether risk-stratified (tailoring population-wide screening protocols based on risk) or risk-targeted (prioritising available screening services to higher risk females) is likely to prevent further deaths. This article presents a review of the risk-adjusted screening initiative in Australia (the Roadmap to Optimising Screening in Australia (ROSA) Project) and explores a potential framework for advancing risk-adjusted strategies for breast screening throughout the Western Pacific region.
