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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBreast cancer (BC) remains the most common cancer among women worldwide. Early detection plays a vital role in reducing morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess Jordanian women's awareness of BC signs and symptoms to support timely recognition and intervention. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsA nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted involving 381 Jordanian women from the general community. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire assessing their knowledge of BC signs and symptoms using a three-point Likert scale ("Yes," "Unsure," "No"). Demographic variables were analyzed for association with knowledge levels using Pearson's Chi-square or Fisher's Exact Test.

results80.3% of participants demonstrated good awareness of BC signs and symptoms. Significant associations were found between knowledge levels and marital status (

conclusionsMost participants demonstrated a strong awareness of BC signs and symptoms. However, educational interventions are needed to target knowledge gaps, particularly among unmarried women.
