Making Cervical Screening More Accessible: A Compassion-Focused Self-Help Intervention for Survivors of Sexual Assault.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 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
Female survivors of sexual assault may be at greater risk of cervical cancer than those with no such experience but are less likely to attend their cervical screening. This feasibility study evaluated a novel self-help intervention delivered via mobile app, designed to make cervical screening more accessible by addressing barriers commonly experienced by this group. Participants accessed the intervention immediately (n = 15) or were allocated to a control group (n = 15). Measures of shame, self-compassion, self-efficacy related to cervical screening, and progress toward attendance were completed at baseline and after 7 weeks. Significantly more participants in the intervention group booked and completed a cervical screening compared to controls. A significant group × time interaction was found for self-efficacy with a large effect size. No significant interactions were found for shame or self-compassion. Feedback was generally positive. The app appeared to be a feasible and acceptable way of providing self-help materials and was successful in increasing some participants' confidence in their ability to attend a cervical screening, and in some cases led to attendance. Further evaluation is needed.
