Title: Healthcare Workers’ Delivery of Adolescent Responsive Sexual and Reproductive
Healthcare Services: An Assessment in Plateau State, Nigeria
Version: 2 Date: 30 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Antoine Naem
Reviewer's report:
General Impression:
This study is very interesting and sheds light on a very important topic in adolescent
and reproductive medicine. It clearly reflects the weaknesses of the healthcare system and
investigates the reasons behind them. The work is well-reported and the methodology is robust.
The results are well-presented and the written language is acceptable. I think it is suitable for
publication after carrying out some minor revisions.
Comments:
1. In the results section of the abstract, there is no need to write “little over half”. Please start
the sentence directly with (58.4%).
2. The keywords are too long, please rewrite using more precise terms that do not exceed two
words for each keyword.
3. In the methods section of the main text, why did not you include a question about the delivery
of antenatal and postnatal services in the paragraph “Delivery of ASRHS”?
4. In the methods section of the main text, please clarify why primary healthcare centers do not
have specialized doctors or family doctors. I think this plays a crucial role in the low rates of
service availability and the awareness toward responsiveness among the included centers in this
study.
5.   In the methods section of the main text, please mention how you categorized the healthcare
workers into aware or not aware of the meaning of responsiveness.
6. In the covariate testing paragraph in the results section of the main text, it seems that the
reported adjusted odds ratio belongs to the female gender since it indicates a negative correlation
unlike what is reported in the text. Please report the odds ratio and confidence intervals of the
male gender (while the female gender is the reference category). This could be easily done by
dividing one by the reported values.
7. In table 4, please report p values, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals, similar to the
other tables.
8. The written language requires polishing and editing. Please revise it carefully.

PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: Authors have responded to concerns raised and clarified further on
the issues by giving more detailed explanations. The manuscript is better and could be published
but a strong recommendation needs to be made on ensuring that the right cadre of health workers
with additional training in adolescent health should be the ones to provide ASRH services.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS/SUGGESTIONS:
A recommendation should be made on having the right cadre of health workers with additional
training in ASRH services be the ones to provide services if policy recommendations on ASRH
are to be met."
Title: First diagnosed invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast combined with gastric metastasis
and bone metastasis: a case report and review of the literature
Version: 4 Date: 05 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting article on a very rare condition, however, it is difficult to understand some
passages due to the poor English language used, and I found many grammatical and conceptual
errors (for example, the patient is referred first as a female, than as a male; some words are
inappropriate; some tenses are in present, some are in the past). I suggest an extensive language
revision, to make this article more understandable and to raise its value for its readers.
Title: First diagnosed invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast combined with gastric metastasis
and bone metastasis: a case report and review of the literature
Version: 4 Date: 16 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
This case report describes a peculiar metastatic localization such as gastric metastasis from
invasive lobular primary breast cancer. I completely agree with the diagnostic process leading
to the definitive diagnosis. A particularly interesting aspect is represented by the meticulous
analysis of   immunohistochemical antibodies,
However this case report is incomplete and i have must point out some aspects that need to be
deepened.
Major points
• The discussion deserves to be extended on the subject of first line systemic treatment with
CDK 4/6 inhibitors in high-load disease and with the presence of visceral metastases.
• Abstract should be modified. It does not explain exhaustively and representatively the real
diagnostic-therapeutic process of the patient's clinical history (there is no mention of palliative
surgery).
• Expand the Discussion with bibliographical references of atypical metastatic localizations from
invasive lobular primary breast cancer (such as peritoneal metastases).
• It is unclear if are present other similar case report in scientific literature ?
• I would mention most recent bibliography, in particular:
1. Ayantunde A.A., Agrawal A., Parsons S.L. et al. Esophagogastric cancers secondary to a
breast primary tumor do not require resection[J]. World J Surg, 2007, 31(8):1597-601

Minor Points
• In some passages, I would substitute the term “rare” with other synonyms. Otherwise it is too
repetitive.
• Global revision of English language.
• Improve the resolution of Figure 3.
Title: First diagnosed invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast combined with gastric metastasis
and bone metastasis: a case report and review of the literature
Version: 4 Date: 12 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Hyun Jo Youn
Reviewer's report:
The authors reported a rare case of breast cancer patient combined with gastric and bone
metastasis. Breast cancer metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is very uncommon and the most
common gastrointestinal metastasis site is stomach with about 60% of cases. Published data
have shown that lobular carcinoma as in this report is most closely linked to gastric metastasis
(about 97% of cases).
Clinically, gastric metastasis of breast cancer is indistinguishable from primary gastric cancer.
So, it’s important and interesting topic. However, this paper shows no particular difference
compared to other previously published papers. It lacks originality.
Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for publication in ‘BMC Women's Health’.

Title: The effect of vitamin D on the severity of dysmenorrhea and menstrual blood loss: A
randomized clinical trial.
Version: 1 Date: 05 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  José Luis Perez-castrillon
Reviewer's report:
The introduction describes the main published studies but does not clearly state the hypothesis.
The utility of the study is not indicated.
The methodology is widely described and can be reproduced. However, there are two points
that the authors must clarify. One of them is the choice of the dose of vitamin D and The mode
of administration of vitamin D taking into account its half-life.Another is the sample size. An
article is cited but the procedure is not explained
Results are clear and can be easily followed
The discussion is reiterative, commenting on the same studies as in the introduction. The possible
mechanism of action of vitamin D must be described. In the same way, the weaknesses and
strengths of the study must be indicated.
Title: Sexual dysfunction worsen both the general and specific quality of life of women with
irritable bowel syndrome. A cross-sectional study
Version: 2 Date: 22 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the opportunity to review this manuscript. I was intrigued by the topic area.
In reviewing the manuscript I thought the topic was important. However, I struggled with the
clarity of some of the descriptions.
-for of all, I struggled with the opening in terms of understanding what the issue or gap in
knowledge was; as a reader this ought to be very clear; what was the reason for the study - why
did it need to be done? Would it be possible to clarify this with more background?
-I am not entirely clear whether the concern for this work was a physical or a psychosocial one?
It has an implication on the way the results are presented and implications for intervention are
described. Could this be thought about by the authors and perhaps described clearly?
-page 1 line 9 and 10, you use the word 'abuse', yet you go onto the describe sexual dysfunction
in all the rest of the manuscript. Why is this concept brought into the opening?
-I do not understand why you need to flag the interim analyses - you are not reporting on those
results.
-what are the clinical implications for this work - or is it only research implications?
- I think there would be value is having an English editor review the paper to ensure language
use and clarity.
Title: Sexual dysfunction worsen both the general and specific quality of life of women with
irritable bowel syndrome. A cross-sectional study
Version: 2 Date: 26 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
The paper provides important information for the reader and raises questions that could be further
researched into. The writing style is also good for the average reader. Ther are however some
improvements I believe can be made to the article
methods
Sexual dysfunction evaluation
lines 18-19. The fact that the FSFI instrument has been validated in the Mexican population is
fine, but it is important that it be validated in the specific population of IBS. Computing and
interpreting the reliability will add value to the study.
Same argument goes for the generic QOL measurement (line 4 following page).
Line 5. Ther was no report about the validity of the IBS-specific QOL. Again, the reading
population will benefit from a report on the reliability of the instrument in this specific
population.
Statistical analysis
lines 22-23: I believe there is a need to properly associate statistical tools used with the
appropriate data set. I observe that t-test, Mann-Whitney, chi-square were all reported as
measuring differences.  It is as if both t-test and Mann-Whitney will apply irrespective of the
distribution of the data whether parametric or nonparametric.
IBS subtype analysis
line 20-21: Please explain or define your reported concordance is it poor, good etc?
predictive factors
line 24/1-6 ff page
This is a cross-sectional study. we may not speak specifically of predictive ability (this should
actually be one of the limitations of the study). Cross-sectional studies could actually generate
hypothesis that could be tested for prediction.

Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the opportunity to see the  revision off your manuscript. I think you have
responded to my review comments well.  I see the points I raised are now more clear for the
reader who will have details which are important to understand what was done and what the
relevant findings are.
Title: Sexual dysfunction worsen both the general and specific quality of life of women with
irritable bowel syndrome. A cross-sectional study
Version: 5 Date: 14 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors thank you for your hard work
- Although you sent a certificate from the editing service, the manuscripts still need grammar
review with the use of passive verbs only.
- The title should be changed to (Sexual dysfunction worsens both the general and specific
quality of life of women with irritable bowel syndrome. A  Mexican cross-sectional study).
- METHOD: the place of the study should be mentioned (was the study in limited cities? or
samples from all cities?)
Title: Sexual Behaviors, Contraception Use and Barriers among Adolescents and Young Adults
in Rural Haiti
Version: 4 Date: 23 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
This is relevant research, especially since it was carried out in rural Haiti, where the majority of
the population lives.  It is also the place where the lack of basic infrastructure, such as school
and health infrastructure, is glaring.
Regarding the revision of the article, there are spelling errors for example, on the first page, at the
level of the paragraph dealing with the method, on the fourth line, it is written: "contrcapetion"
whereas the  correct spelling is "contraception".  It is advisable to read twice the entire text in
order to correct all errors of the same kind.
Some questions are supposed to attract your attention in order to check certain elements that
could be considered as possible biases in the research:
[ ] Does the living environment of the target population of the research have health centers
providing all the contraceptive methods reported in the research?
[ ] Are there any NGO programs in the area that primarily distribute condoms?  If so, this
could explain the results obtained by the research in relation to the percentage of people using
condoms.
[ ] How was the neutralization of certain biases achieved, such as: sex is a subject of taboo for
the youth  (they often do not like or allow to talk about sex in front of people older than them,
or even in front of their parents)?
[ ] Has there been a concern to verify whether contraceptive methods do not have psychosomatic
effects on Haitians using them?
Title: Sexual Behaviors, Contraception Use and Barriers among Adolescents and Young Adults
in Rural Haiti
Version: 4 Date: 25 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
This paper is very nicely written with attention to methods and results details.
The one issue I keep stuck on is that of development. Three vastly different life stages are
queried in this paper, with little attention in the data themselves about how AYA change in
their perceptions and wants as they age. Because interventions require some data precision to
be successful, I would consider revisions that focus on more attention to these age stages.
Title: Barriers to Early Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer: A mixed-method study in Côte d'Ivoire,
West Africa
Version: 2 Date: 17 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal. In my honest
opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. Nevertheless, the authors
should clarify some points and improve the discussion, as suggested below.
Authors should consider the following recommendations:
- Manuscript should be further revised in order to correct some typos and improve style.
- Authors should discuss robust pieces of evidence about the use of new strategies for cervical
cancer and pre-cancerous lesions screening and diagnosis, even using artificial intelligence and
novel biomarkers (authors may refer to: PMID: 36428831; PMID: 35742340).
- I recommend to add further details to discuss the ongoing debate about the use/avoidance of
minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer, considering the available pieces of evidence and
the hystotype of the disease (authors may refer to: PMID: 36293758; PMID: 35549629).

Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "Barriers to Early Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer:
A mixed-method study in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa" which falls within the aim of the Journal.
In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention.
Nevertheless, authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and
novel key articles about the topic.
-First, the whole text should be corrected by a native English speaker in order to make the work
clearer and more readable.
-Moreover, typos errors must be corrected.
-The introduction should  completed. I find interesting the reference to the efforts made for the
prevention and early diagnosis of gynecological cancers (see PMID: 36141217).
- Although it is a retrospective analysis, inclusion/exclusion criteria should be better clarified
by extending their description.
- I suggest also authors to organize better the discussion section following this ideal structure:
main findings of the study, strength and limitations of the study, implications and comparison
with literature, future directions.
- Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to
read and insert in references the following article PMID: 35909005; 35455328).
Considered all this points, I think it could be of interest for the readers and, in my opinion, it
deserves the priority to be published after minor revisions.

Title: Interventions to increase the uptake of cervical cancer screening in low- and middle-
income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 1 Date: 29 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Sveinung Wergeland Sørbye
Reviewer's report:
Tin et al. have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions to increase
the uptake of cervical cancer screening in low- and middle-income countries.  They have
included 38 reports of 24 studies involving 318,423 participants from 15 RCTs and nine cluster
RCTs.  Interventions like HPV self-sampling, reminders with SMS and free subsidized cost may
increase uptake compared to standard care.  Combined interventions, including health education
interventions and SMS plus e-voucher, may be better than single intervention.
The claims are properly placed in the context of the previous literature. The experimental data
support the claims. The manuscript is written clearly enough that most of it is understandable to
non-specialists. The authors have provided adequate proof for their claims, without overselling
them. The authors have treated the previous literature fairly. The paper offers enough details of
methodology so that the experiments could be reproduced.
Comments
The results section in the abstract contains too much information. For better readability, I
recommend slightly decreasing the quantity of numbers presented.
"We included 38 reports of 24 studies involving 318,423 participants from 15 RCTs and nine
cluster RCTs. Single interventions may increase uptake of CCS when compared with control
(RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.19-1.82). Self-sampling of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing may
increase uptake of CCS relative to routine Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (RR 1.93, 95%
CI 1.66-2.25).  Reminding with phone call#may increase uptake of CCS more than letter (RR
1.72, 95% CI 1.27-2.32) and SMS (RR 1.59, 95% CI 1.19-2.13). Sending 15 health messages
may increase uptake of CCS relative to one SMS (RR 2.75, 95% CI 1.46-5.19). Free subsidized
cost may increase uptake of CCS slightly than subsidized cost (RR 1.60, 95% CI 1.10-2.33).
Community based HPV test may increase uptake of CCS slightly in compared to hospital
collected HPV (RR 1.67, 95% CI 1.53-1.82). The evidence is very uncertain about the effect
of combined interventions on CCS uptake relative to single intervention (RR 2.20, 95% CI
1.54-3.14). "
