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

backgroundA monthly breast examination is one of the early diagnostic strategies for detecting breast cancer (BC). This study's primary goal was to investigate the role of phone-based training in encouraging breast self-examination (BSE) in an Iranian population. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design in which the experimental and control groups were followed up to assess the effects of a BSE training program. A total of 128 women aged 30-69 referring to comprehensive health centers in Mahabad City (West Azerbaijan Province) were selected using random cluster sampling. Then, the subjects were randomly divided into two groups: the intervention and the control (

resultsThe results showed that the main between-group effect and the effect of time on knowledge, attitude, and performance were statistically significant. The interactive effect of group × time on knowledge, attitude, and performance was significant, comparing pretest vs. posttest and pretest vs. follow-up (

conclusionDue to the rapid increase in mobile health as an effective tool for health interventions and management, it is necessary for policymakers to pay special attention to it for cancer awareness and screening.
