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
introductionIn Tunisia, the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer are relatively high and are projected to remain a significant health burden by 2030. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Tunisian women regarding breast cancer screening and to determine the factors associated with good practice using multivariable regression.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study among adult female Tunisian population for 10 days period (from 6 till 16 October 2022), using an online self-administered survey. We assessed knowledge related to breast cancer and screening methods, screening practices and attitudes towards breast cancer screening. Good knowledge, good attitude and good practices were defined as achieving ≥75% correct answers.
resultsIn total of 183 females were included (Mean age 33.7±8.2[18 - 64]). Almost all participants (96.7%, n= 177) lived in urban areas and 74.3% (n=136) were married. One-third of the participants were housewives (33.9%, n=62) and 83.6% (n=153) had an academic education. One participant (0.5%) had a personal history of breast cancer, while 26.2% (n=48) reported a family history of breast cancer. Among the participants, 42.6% (n=78) demonstrated good knowledge, 88.5% (n=162) had a good attitude score, and 21.3% (n=39) achieved a good practice score. Good practice was associated with good knowledge (Adjusted OR= 5.0, 95%CI [2.2-11.2],p<0.01), age ≥35 years (Adjusted OR= 2.5, 95% CI [1.1-5.4], p=0.02) and a family history of breast cancer (Adjusted OR= 2.2, 95% CI [1.0-5.1], p=0.04).
conclusionOur study showed a moderate knowledge and practice regarding breast cancer screening, alongside a generally good attitude. The factors associated with good practice underscore the importance of educational interventions and the targeted screening strategies.
