Muddling Through the Health System: Experiences of Three Groups of Black Women in Three Regions.
Article in Journal of National Black Nurses' Association : JNBNA, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Health-care disparities are a well-documented concern among patients and providers who care for minority groups in the United States. In this study, focus groups were created from an original sample of 606 Black women representing three regions in the United States: the South, the Midwest, and the Virgin Islands. Composed of 10 randomly selected members each (n = 30), the focus groups provided insights into the nature of these disparities, with some suggestions for viable solutions. Participants voiced concerns regarding cultural taboos about discussing menopause, financial concerns, and negative experiences with healthcare leading to distrust in medical systems. The primary solution proposed was an increase in Black health-care professionals who would have increased rapport with, empathy for, and understanding of the concerns of Black women.
