Experiences of Women Who Do Not Participate in Breast Cancer Screening Programs: A Qualitative Study.
Review in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimThis study aimed to identify factors that prevent women from participating in breast cancer screening programs.
methodThis study was conducted using a phenomenological design within the qualitative research tradition. The sample consisted of 20 women who visited the XXXX Family Health Center in XXXX between February and March 2024. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and a "Semi-Structured Interview Form" prepared for one-on-one interviews. Qualitative data were analyzed through conventional content analysis, with MAXQDA 2020 software used to facilitate data coding and theme development.
resultsThe participants' mean age was 52.3±8.75. Following the analysis, three themes, seven categories, and 98 codes were identified: "Perceptions," "Knowledge and Awareness," and "Participation Dynamics and Expectations for Support."
conclusionThe main reasons for women's nonparticipation in breast cancer screening were the absence of perceived discomfort and negligence, religious beliefs (prayer, destiny, breastfeeding), fear of unfavorable results, concerns about privacy, and lack of experience. In addition, practical issues, such as transportation difficulties and the cumbersome procedure of making appointments, also reduced participation. Insufficient knowledge, particularly a lack of accurate scientific information, prevents women from understanding the benefits of screening. Overcoming these barriers requires educational interventions, improved transportation options, and increased public trust in the healthcare system.
