Barriers to Healthcare among African Immigrants in Georgia, USA.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
African-born immigrants are among the fastest growing immigrant groups in the US, yet they are underrepresented in healthcare research, particularly, cancer research and tend to be categorized as African American or Black, obscuring any cultural nuances that exist. A survey designed to provide insight on the barriers to healthcare, knowledge of common cancers, and cancer risks was utilized during a health fair. Data analyses included descriptive statistics to examine participant demographics and other study variables of interest. Most of the participants reported African origin (approximately 97%), were males (59%), were aged 18-40 years (49%), had a minimum of some college education (78%), a household income of >$50,000 (35%) and were mostly uninsured (45%). The cost of medical treatment 19 (45.2%) was reported as a major barrier to healthcare access. The Health Fair presented the opportunity to provide free health screenings, education/awareness, and referral to follow-up resources. The findings are evidence of the importance and impact of health fairs in communities of greatest need.
