Acceptability of Home-Based Urine Self-Collection for Cervical Cancer Screening Among Women Receiving Care at the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services in Michigan.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMichigan's Middle Eastern-North African (MENA) community is an essential and growing part of the state's population. However, MENA individuals are underrepresented in the research literature due to a lack of recognized demographic categorization. Prior work shows that MENA women face barriers to traditional clinician-directed cervical cancer screening. This study aims to capture the perspectives of MENA women about home-based urine cervical cancer screening using HPV kits and to assess whether such methods could positively impact future screening intent.
methodsThrough collaboration with a community partner in southeast Michigan, we recruited MENA women ages 30-65, with 44 completing the study. Participants used urine HPV self-sampling kits at home and then shared their perspectives through a phone interview. We used an inductive, thematic approach to analyze the interviews, which captured experiences with home-based self-sampling, screening preferences, and impact on future screening intent.
resultsParticipants found that urine home-based self-sampling was acceptable as a convenient and comfortable way to screen for cervical cancer. Most (80%) preferred self-sampling over traditional clinician-directed screening and preferred collecting urine samples at home (73%) rather than in the clinic. Overall, 80% reported that access to urine self-sampling would positively impact their future screening intent.
conclusionsMENA participants in this study positively received home-based cervical cancer screening using urine HPV self-sampling kits. These findings support the clinical implementation of self-sampling and home-based cervical cancer screening to increase participation, particularly among those in under-screened communities.
