Health belief model-based educational interventions for knowledge, beliefs, and intentions on mammography: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 (BC) is a significant global health issue and the most common cancer among women. Early detection via mammography is crucial for improving survival rates. This systematic review (SR) explores the impact of educational interventions based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on women's BC knowledge, beliefs, and intentions regarding mammography among women aged 40 and older.lease be informed that I submitted
methodsThe SR was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023402436) and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA, 2020) guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted across five databases-PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and PsycINFO-for relevant English-language studies published from January 2003 to December 2024. The study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) and the Revised Risk of Bias Assessment 2 (RoBANS 2) tools. A narrative synthesis was conducted following established methodological guidance.
resultsEight studies were included, consisting of five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and three non-randomized controlled trials (NRCTs), with a total of 1,439 participants. The interventions included individual, group, and multimedia education and consultations. Six studies showed significant improvement in knowledge, while seven showed improvement in one or more constructs of the CHBMS related to beliefs about mammogram screening. Key factors influencing screening intentions were embarrassment, cost, income level, health insurance, age, and immigration status. Limitations of the studies included small sample sizes, reliance on self-reported data, lack of control groups, and short follow-up periods.
conclusionEducational interventions based on HBM generally improve BC knowledge, beliefs, and intentions about mammography in women aged 40 years and older. Interventions that incorporate multiple strategies within healthcare settings show the most significant improvements. Future approaches should be multifaceted, sensitive to cultural and socioeconomic contexts, and include ongoing follow-up to promote screening adherence and early BC detection.
