Addressing Cancer Screening Disparities in Little Haiti, Miami, USA: A Literature Review on Barriers and Solutions.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers pose significant health risks to women, with early screenings proven to reduce mortality. However, disparities in screening adherence persist, particularly in underserved communities like Little Haiti in Miami. This review examines screening rates in Little Haiti, identifying barriers to adherence and evidence-based interventions to improve participation. Screenings significantly reduce cancer mortality. Despite these benefits, screening rates in Little Haiti remain below national averages. Socioeconomic and cultural factors, including language barriers, misconceptions, and limited health literacy, further hinder adherence. Effective strategies identified in this review to address these disparities include reminder systems, self-administered human papillomavirus (HPV) tests, and targeted outreach. Programs like Florida International University's Neighborhood Health Education Learning Program (NHELP) initiative improve access by integrating preventive care with education. However, research gaps remain in evaluating culturally specific interventions. Future studies should explore native-language education, mobile screening units, and technology-driven solutions to enhance adherence. This review highlights the need for targeted strategies to ensure equitable access to life-saving cancer screenings in underserved communities.
