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 and Aims: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, with rising trends in prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates. Genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants plays a pivotal role in assessing risk and enabling early detection. Despite its importance, participation in breast cancer screening programs, including genetic testing, remains notably low in Iran. This study aimed to assess Iranian women's intention to undergo predictive genetic testing for breast cancer and identify associated factors to inform policymakers and intervention strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from July to August 2021 among 1041 Iranian women aged 30 and above. A validated questionnaire assessed demographics, psychological factors, personal and family cancer history, knowledge of breast cancer genetics, attitudes toward genetic testing, and testing intentions. Statistical analyses included Chi-square tests, Fisher's Exact Test, and logistic regression to identify predictors of testing intention. Results: Most participants (89.5%) expressed willingness to undergo genetic testing if it were free. Higher knowledge of breast cancer genetics (OR = 1.59, Conclusion: Despite limited knowledge, Iranian women demonstrated a strong interest in genetic testing for breast cancer. Educational interventions and policy measures to reduce financial barriers could enhance participation rates. Tailored programs addressing psychological concerns and improving genetic literacy are recommended to support informed decision-making and early detection efforts.
