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: Mammography use and its predictors among older women require further study. Objectives: Mammography use and its relationship to demographic characteristics, health care access, and breast cancer risk factors in women ages 60 to 85 in the United States were examined. Design: US Health and Retirement Study 2014 dataset was examined. Methods: A descriptive study using secondary data was analyzed for use of mammography screening and its predictors in women ages 60 to 85 in United States. Results: In total, 5177 (73.4%) of respondents reported mammography use. Mammography use was higher among older women who were married, nonsmokers, alcohol drinkers, engaged in vigorous exercise, and had dental visits. Conclusion: Women ages 60+ in the US HRS dataset revealed continued mammography screening into later years (73.4%), and mammography use was higher among older women who had healthy lifestyles and habits. Insights for health care providers and systems are to recommend mammography use for women age 60 to 85 years are provided. This US study can be used to inform future research and policy regarding breast cancer screening among older women.
