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
Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) was ranked the most common among the top ten malignancies in 2022, evidenced by high incidence and rates rapid mortality and morbidity rates in Nigeria. BC screening method (BCSM) helps to discover BC early, gives more treatment options and raises cancer survival rates. Little is known about the utilisation of BCSM in this community, which prompted this study. Objective: This study was conducted among the staff of the Federal Medical Center, Abeokuta, and it assessed their knowledge, attitudes and use of BCSM. Methods: This study selected 270 staff members using a descriptive cross-sectional method and a convenience sampling technique. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. Hypotheses were tested using chi-square, multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation coefficient at a 0.05 level of significance. Results: The study's results showed a high BCSM knowledge level of 71.9% but a low utilisation level of 57.8%; however, there was a positive attitude towards utilisation. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between staff members' gender, age, educational qualifications, department and both their knowledge and utilisation of BCSM (p < 0.05). The Pearson correlation revealed a positive trend between knowledge and utilisation. Conclusion: BCSM offers an opportunity for early detection, diagnosis and disease prevention of BC; it also serves as an avenue to inform and enlighten people on important health issues, including health promotion activities and screening as they pertain to BC. More BC awareness programs are advocated to educate people on the importance of BC Screening to enhance early detection and treatment.
