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
Objective: Increasing men's knowledge and awareness of breast cancer is aimed at addressing a significant barrier to women's engagement in screening. This study aims to adapt the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test, originally designed for women, for use with men, in order to increase their awareness and support female screening efforts. Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 310 male volunteers. The Davis technique was utilized to evaluate content validity to adapt the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test for males. The construct validity of the scale was evaluated using Tetrachoric Factor Analysis. Kuder Richardson-20 was calculated to determine the reliability of the scale. Item difficulty and discrimination indices were tested using Rasch analysis. Results: The Content Validity Index value was 0.96. The data was suitable for the factor analysis according to Bartlett's statistics ( Conclusion: The male version of the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test was a valid and reliable tool for assessing the knowledge level of the Turkish male population regarding female breast cancer. By identifying areas where men lack knowledge, this scale can inform the development of targeted public health and educational initiatives, ultimately improving male engagement in breast cancer awareness and supporting female screening efforts.
