Leveraging HIV prevention programs for breast cancer interventions: A survey of women stakeholders in the informal work sector in Nigeria.
Article in Women's health (London, England). 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
backgroundBreast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Nigerian women. Many affected are artisans in the informal work sector with poor access to breast cancer information, which hinder preventive and screening practices. Integrating breast cancer interventions into these HIV programs offers the potential to address the dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
objectiveTo assess HIV and breast cancer knowledge, screening practices, and the feasibility of implementing integrated programs among artisans in Ibadan, Nigeria.
designA cross-sectional survey was conducted among women in the informal work sector (artisans) in Ibadan, Nigeria.
methodsThe study was conducted among 400 female artisans aged 25-65 years using multistage sampling technique. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data on knowledge of breast cancer and HIV. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at
resultsOf the 400 respondents, most (64.5%) had secondary level education or less. A quarter were aged ⩾40 years. Only 4.5% had a high level of knowledge about breast cancer compared to HIV (92.7%). One-tenth of the women had ever been screened for breast cancer using clinical breast examination, while the mammography rate for women aged ⩾40 years was 9.0%. In contrast, the proportion who had ever screened for HIV was 74%. Factors positively associated with breast cancer screening included higher education levels and religious affiliation. The majority (95.5%) expressed willingness to participate in integrated HIV and breast cancer interventions.
conclusionOur findings indicate poor awareness of breast cancer signs/symptoms and screening practices. Integrated HIV and breast cancer programs may serve as a model and offer the potential to expand coverage and reduce missed opportunities for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
