Cervical Cancer Screening Among Women in Malawi: An Integrative Literature Review.
Review in Oncology nursing forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
problem identificationIn Malawi, the cervical cancer death rate is eight times that of the global rate. Cervical cancer is preventable by vaccination, screening, and early treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of cervical cancer screening and factors associated with screening uptake among women in Malawi using Whittemore and Knafl's integrative methodologic review framework. LITERATURE SEARCH: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE®, Scopus®, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL®, and Google Scholar™ databases. DATA EVALUATION: 12 studies met the inclusion criteria, and quality was assessed using the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool, version 2018. Themes were categorized within the situation-specific theory components. SYNTHESIS: The screening rate ranged from 1.74% to 47%. Access to healthcare services factors and individual, sociocultural, and sociodemographic factors were associated with screening uptake. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH: The identified gaps in cervical cancer prevention in Malawi can serve as evidence to develop nursing intervention strategies to promote screening and treatment uptake in the country.
