Financial incentives for women's cervical, breast and colorectal cancer screening adherence: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Preventive medicine reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To evaluate the effectiveness of financial incentives on women's participation in cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of quantitative studies evaluating financial incentives to increase women's participation in cancer screening. MEDLINE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library were searched from December 2024 to June 2025. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42025640357). Results: Eleven studies were included. Financial incentives were associated with increased screening participation - RR 1.42 (95% CI 1.05, 1.92); I Conclusions: Financial incentives may improve women's screening participation. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of different incentive magnitudes and delivery strategies, alone or in combination with other interventions.
