Uptake rate, barriers, and attitudes towards mammography screening for breast cancer in Jordan.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundBreast cancer in Jordan accounts for 37.5% of all cancers in females. With the absence of regular systematic screening for breast cancer in Jordan, work is focused mainly on health promotion campaigns. This study assessed the screening uptake, identified barriers, and examined women's awareness of the importance of mammography screening in Jordan.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted in six governorates in Jordan. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews with a random sample of women aged 40 to 69 years who were eligible for mammography screening.
results610 participants with a mean age of 50.35 ± 7.6 years were included in the study. Breast self-examination, doctor examination, and periodic mammography screening were reported by 33.6%, 13.8%, and 10.4% of study participants, respectively. High income and family history of breast cancer were statistically significant predictors of screening. This study identified key barriers to screening such as cost and limited healthcare professionals' advice.
conclusionsIn the absence of a national program for free systematic screening for breast cancer in Jordan, the uptake of mammography screening is expected to stay at low rates. The outcomes of the study will assist future campaigns and programs for improving the uptake of breast cancer screening in Jordan.
