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

Introduction: We evaluated the effectiveness of an adapted community-based breast and cervical screening behavioral intervention. Community health workers (CHW) delivered group education and optional telephone-based health coaching and navigation on mammography and Papanicolaou (Pap) test screening among low-income Latinas in the Greater Houston area. Methods: CHWs recruited women (40 years and older) who were non-adherent to mammography screening guidelines (n=797), as well as women 21 years and over who were non-adherent to cervical cancer screening guidelines (n=501). Data collectors completed baseline surveys, randomized women to the CHW-delivered intervention and comparison (delayed intervention) arms, and completed 6-month follow-up surveys. Results: At follow-up, 39.9% in the mammography intervention arm and 20.3% of women in the comparison arm completed mammograms ( Conclusion: This study provides strong evidence that community-based group education and navigation increase breast and cervical screening among low-income Latinas in urban settings. Future research to scale up this evidence-based CHW-delivered program is needed.
