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

Objective: To assess breast and cervical cancer screening rates among women according to body mass index (BMI). Methods: This cross-sectional study used anonymous self-administered questionnaires given to women from three French university hospitals with normal weight (BMI 18.5-25 kg/m Results: Among 439 women (20% class I, 22% class II obesity), 178 and 370 were eligible for breast and cervical cancer screening, respectively. Women with class I and II obesity were less likely to be up-to-date for clinical breast exams (Odds Ratio [95% confidence interval] 2.35[1.06,5.20] and 2.68[1.12,6.42], respectively), mammography (4.43[1.49,13.18] and 4.08[1.22,13.62]), and cervical samples (2.23[1.09,4.54] and 2.85[1.42,5.72]). Class II obesity was associated with more frequent follow-up by general practitioners ( Conclusions: Women with obesity are less likely to receive recommended gynecological cancer screenings than normal-weight peers. These disparities call for more inclusive healthcare strategies.
