Sustainability of Rideshare Programs to Promote Engagement of Underrepresented Populations in Breast Cancer Screening Trials.
Article in Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR, 2025. 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
backgroundTransportation barriers significantly limit participation in breast cancer screening trials among Hispanic women, exacerbating disparities in breast cancer outcomes and underrepresentation in clinical research. Rideshare programs have emerged as a potential solution, but their long-term sustainability remains underexplored. Understanding sustainability capacity is critical to ensuring these programs can address structural barriers, promote health equity, and improve outcomes for underserved populations. The aim of this study is to evaluate sustainability capacity of a no-cost rideshare program and to identify potential strategies to support sustainability.
methodsThis explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods study evaluated the sustainability capacity of a no-cost rideshare program aimed at increasing Hispanic women's participation in the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial. Analyses and data integration were guided by the Capacity for Sustainability Framework. Average domain scores on the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool survey were calculated ranging from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating higher levels for each domain, and structured interviews were analyzed using a rapid qualitative approach. Program Sustainability Assessment Tool and interview findings were integrated using a joint display.
resultsSurvey responses (n = 37) indicated strengths in environmental support (mean score: 5.4) and partnerships (6.0), but challenges in funding stability (4.2) and strategic planning (4.5). Interview findings emphasized the importance of program champions and collaborative partnerships and highlighted gaps in securing diverse funding sources and engaging institutional leadership in strategic planning. Participants identified opportunities to strengthen communication, evaluate program impact, and adapt processes to meet evolving needs. DISCUSSION: Strong partnerships and champions supported the program's initial success, but funding instability and insufficient strategic planning threaten sustainability. Future efforts should prioritize securing diverse funding, engaging leadership, and fostering collaboration to scale rideshare programs, thereby reducing disparities and advancing equity in breast cancer screening and research participation.
