Impact of HIV/AIDS on African-born Women Living in the United States: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThere is paucity of surveillance data about African-born women (ABW) living with HIV/AIDS in the USA. Out of the 50 US states, only Washington state and Minnesota report HIV surveillance data about African-born people, and Minnesota is the only state that reports data about ABW, specifically. In Minnesota, ABW have the largest prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS among all women. In Washington state, foreign-born Black people have the highest incidence of HIV behind white people and foreign-born Hispanic people. This study aims to better understand the impact HIV/AIDS on ABW.
methodsThis systematic review is based on articles available on three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library). Databases were searched for articles that included quantitative and/or qualitative findings about the impact of HIV/AIDS on ABW in the USA.
resultsSeveral themes were identified including disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on ABW, barriers to care, low sexual health knowledge, HIV-related stigma, and limited HIV testing. Based on 2013 data, the incidence of HIV among ABW was 12 times higher than the incidence among women in the general US population. In 2008-2014, ABW had the smallest decline in HIV diagnosis rate when compared to US-born men and women, African-born men, and Caribbean-born men and women. Barriers that ABW face when trying to access care include, language barriers, fear of deportation and difficulty navigating the US healthcare system.
conclusionABW living in the USA are uniquely impacted by HIV/AIDS. Lasting negative health consequences can be mitigated by improving HIV surveillance and investing in further studies about this population.
