The Trade-Offs that Vietnamese Women Make in Early Detection Services for Breast Cancer: Insights from a Discrete Choice Experiment Using a Latent Class Model.

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
introductionDelays in diagnosis and treatment are common among Vietnamese breast cancer (BC) patients. This study analyzed women's preferences regarding breast cancer screening (BCS) programs and mammography screening to support the government in implementing population-based BCS.
methodsWe conducted literature reviews, focus group discussions, and qualitative interviews to develop the attributes and levels of a discrete choice experiment (DCE) involving [breast cancer screening (BCS) programs and mammography screening. The BCS program included] seven attributes (screening test staff's gender, method of invitation, free breast self-exam course, waiting time, combined screening test, screening location, and cost), and mammography screening included five attributes (comfort level, screening test staff's gender, false positives, overdiagnosis, and cost). The choice data were analyzed using a latent class model. Uptake was predicted, and policy scenarios were formulated.
resultsA total of 1,023 women, with an average age of 33.4 years, completed the DCE survey. In the BCS scenario, respondents in all classes preferred a combination of screening tests and lower costs, except for the smallest class of participants. Screening location and waiting time were influential components in decision-making for all women. Most participants were sensitive to organizational characteristics and costs. In the mammography screening scenario, respondents' preferences were strongly influenced by the gender of screening test personnel, false positives, and costs across all classes.
conclusionWomen in Vietnam exhibit heterogeneous preferences for breast cancer screening (BCS) programs and mammography screening. This study provides supporting evidence related to Vietnamese women's preferences for BCS, which may be valuable for public health authorities.
