Sorteando ("Sorting Out") Systemic Barriers and Social Support Promoters of Women's Health: Intersectional Community-Based Participatory Research in Borderland Communities Peri- and Post-COVID-19.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
objectivesTo identify systemic barriers leading to health inequities and health promoters experienced peri- and post-COVID-19 that impacted the health outcomes of women residing in geopolitical borderland communities of southern Arizona. Community-directed interventions that improve community health were sought.
methodsIn 2023, we collected survey, interview, and focus group data documenting reported healthcare access, safety, stress, and discrimination experienced by a community of predominantly Mexican-origin women. Community-based participatory research and intersectional approaches were utilized. Data were analyzed and translated through group consensus processes.
resultsMental health was the most significant health concern, and social support was identified as the greatest promoter of health. A grounded theory model emerged depicting the overarching theme, Building Strength and Inclusion Through Connection During COVID-19 and describing lived experiences of the community. Ten community-directed intervention strategies were developed and disseminated to decision-makers for improved community health.
conclusionsUnderrepresented border communities bear the undue burden of health inequity underpinned by restrictive immigration policies and exclusion to critical resources. As communities recover from the impacts of COVID-19, intervention and prevention efforts must include organic local knowledge that accelerates public health. This study is crucial for community health practice and policy and presents emergent grounded theory, community-led praxis processes leading to effective health improvement strategies, and five key insights that inform future studies and programs.
