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

purposeThis study sought to investigate the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants related to breast and cervical cancer screening among ever-married women aged 15 to 49 years in Jordan.

methodsThis research employed secondary data from the 2023 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey (JPFHS), which included 12,547 ever-married women aged 15 to 49. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to quantify screening prevalence and identify related covariates, presented as adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsThe prevalence of screening for breast and cervical cancer was 15.2% and 16.2%, respectively. Increased screening participation was substantially correlated with advanced age, larger home affluence, higher parity, previous sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and exposure to radio communications. Women aged 35-49 were more likely to receive breast (AOR: 4.0; 95% CI: 2.6-6.0) and cervical cancer screening (AOR: 5.5; 95% CI: 3.3-9.2) compared to those aged 15-24 years. Women in the highest wealth quintile had a greater likelihood of being screened for breast cancer (AOR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.6-2.8) and cervical cancer (AOR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.9-3.5). Moreover, breast cancer screening correlated with recent healthcare service consumption (AOR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.1-1.6), while cervical cancer screening had a favorable association with elevated educational attainment (AOR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.3). Living in rural areas was inversely correlated with cervical screening participation (AOR: 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6-1.0). 

conclusionScreening rates for breast and cervical cancer among Jordanian women are inadequate. Interventions that facilitate equitable access-especially aimed at younger, less educated, rural, and low-income women-are crucial for enhancing participation and diminishing inequities in early cancer detection.
