Implementing mobile mammography in primary care: a community-based Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) evaluation.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 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
backgroundMobile mammography units (MMU) address disparities in breast cancer screening. Challenges integrating MMU into routine healthcare delivery limit their sustained impact, particularly in underserved communities. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the implementation of a mobile mammography program embedded within primary care practices described within the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) and evaluated according to the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
methodsWe conducted a REAIM implementation evaluation of a MMU program delivered from 2013 to 2019 within six primary care practices serving medically underserved populations. Data sources included administrative records, Patient Ambassador outreach and screening day logs, provider focus groups, and patient satisfaction surveys. RE-AIM domains were used to assess organizational uptake and sustainability, implementation processes, patient reach, and patient-reported experience.
resultsPractices adopted MMU integration with varied duration and intensity. Predictable screening schedules and clinic-based appointment prescheduling achieved greater screening completion and sustainability than sites relying primarily on patient outreach. Patient Ambassadors facilitated implementation through scheduling, logistics, and patient education, reducing administrative burden on clinical staff. Key implementation challenges included limited MMU capacity, missed appointments, staffing demands, and MMU accessibility constraints. Reach included over 6400 completed mammograms and more than 10 000 outreach calls. Patient satisfaction and intention to use the MMU again remained high throughout the program.
conclusionsEmbedding MMU within primary care, supported by Patient Ambassadors, can expand access to breast cancer screening in underserved communities. Sustainable implementation requires predictable scheduling, adequate coordination capacity, leadership engagement, and adaptation to local clinical and patient contexts.
