1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A mammography response rate exceeding 70% is one of the parameters for monitoring the success of a national breast cancer screening program (BCS). The aim was to explore the potential for improving the response rate in the BCS in Croatia, based on the accuracy of the invitation database and availability of mammography services. In this cross-sectional study, data from the fifth and sixth implementation cycles were collected through a questionnaire from the BCS county coordinators (N=21). The quality of the invitation database and the number of available mammography appointments were analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel. Seventeen percent of women were not available at the address listed in the database and could not be invited for mammography, with variations observed across counties ranging from 31% (Lika-Senj County) to 7% (Krapina-Zagorje County). Only eight counties had a sufficient number of mammography appointments for initial and repeat invitations. With a higher estimate of unavailable women by counties at the end of the fifth cycle, the response rate at the end of the cycle was lower (
