The impact of educational interventions on breast self-examination practice, knowledge, and beliefs among women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of public health research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: Breast self-examination (BSE) enhances self-awareness and may lead to earlier detection and treatment by increasing familiarity with one's breasts. BSE may facilitate the earlier detection of abnormalities and prompt medical consultation. Educational interventions are significant in promoting BSE practices, strengthening knowledge, and modifying beliefs among women. Methods: This systematic review critically examines the current body of literature to thoroughly analyze the impact of educational interventions on BSE knowledge, beliefs, and practices in women. Studies based on experimental/interventional design, conducted globally on BSE practice, knowledge, and beliefs among women aged above 18 years, were included in this review. Results: A total of 24 studies with 5095 participants were included. The interventions consistently improved women's knowledge, beliefs, and BSE-related outcomes. Meta-analysis of 10 experimental studies ( Conclusion: In conclusion the current systematic literature review demonstrates the efficacy of interventions in enhancing understanding of BSE and promoting practices among women.
