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
backgroundEvery year, breast cancer affects millions of people and families, making it a significant global health concern. To improve early detection and effective prevention strategies, it is essential to understand how, people view and respond to their risk of breast cancer. The study's objective was to determine the relationship between healthcare providers' health beliefs and breast self-examination at a teaching hospital in Mosul. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out on the medical staff at hospitals in Mosul city, Iraq. Date collection extended period from February 01, 2025 to April 02, 2025. The study sample was collected from four teaching hospitals "Al-Batoul Hospital, Al-Bahshi Hospital, Al-Khansa Hospital, and Al-Salam Hospital." The sample was collected by direct interview with healthcare providers. Two hundred and twenty-five healthcare professionals in all were chosen from among those, who volunteered to take part in the study. The data was statistically analyzed using "SPSS Ver-28." The mean and standard deviation were calculated using descriptive statistics, such as the frequency and percentage.
resultsThe study sample revealed that most participants (61.77%) were under 25 years. This suggests that young people made up most participants. Nursing professionals made up the largest group (37.78%), followed by female physicians (20.44%) and pharmacists (16.89%).
conclusionAccording to the study, performing breast self-examination was statistically significantly correlated with the health beliefs of the healthcare providers. There was no obvious correlation, except for perceived severity.
