1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundRecognizing breast changes and seeking timely medical evaluation are components of breast awareness. This study evaluated the effects of an integrated breast self-examination (BSE) educational intervention incorporating wearable simulator practice on breast cancer knowledge and health beliefs.

methodsThis two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial included 95 women aged 40 years or older (intervention,

resultsAt three months, after adjustment for baseline scores, the intervention group had higher general knowledge and curability scores than the control group (

conclusionsAn integrated educational intervention incorporating practice with a wearable breast simulator was associated with higher follow-up scores for breast cancer knowledge, perceived benefits, confidence, and health motivation than no intervention (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06886594).
