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
introductionImprovement of knowledge and attitude helps to improve the prevention of breast cancer (BC).
aimThis study aimed to determine the level of knowledge of early signs and risk factors, and attitude toward BC. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study that was conducted in Dodoma city, Tanzania among women aged ≥18 years. Mean values were used as cutoff points for adequate knowledge and positive attitude. Multivariable analysis was used to determine the predictors of knowledge and attitude.
resultsA total of 354 women were analyzed. Having 35-49 years was associated with increased chance of having adequate knowledge of early signs and risk factors for BC compared to having ≥50 years of age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.87-5.09,
conclusionThis study has shown a moderately low level of adequate knowledge of early signs and risk factors for BC. Also, younger age was associated with adequate knowledge and positive attitude toward BC.
