Engaging Black Women in Stress Urinary Incontinence Research Prioritization Through Intentional Recruitment and Alliance With Community Partners.
Article in Urology practice, 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
introductionDespite the disproportionate impact of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) on Black women and their underrepresentation in research, strategies for effectively engaging Black women remain underexplored. Here, we share insights gained from a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute-funded patient engagement project on SUI in which increasing racial diversity of participants was prioritized and achieved.
methodsA multiphase patient and stakeholder engagement project, conducted from June 2021 to November 2023, sought to train SUI patient partners and identify patient-generated priorities for research. Collaborating with community partners, purposeful recruitment strategies targeting Black women were employed. Key activities included surveying patient experiences, educational video training, and research prioritization surveys, all facilitated virtually.
resultsInitial crowdsourcing revealed low representation of Black women (6%). Collaboration with Black Health Matters increased representation in subsequent phases (ranging from 18% to 40%). Of the trained patient partners, 24% identified as Black. Ultimately, 16% of respondents to the research prioritization survey were Black. Collaborative efforts, including the dissemination of newsletter articles through Black Health Matters channels, significantly contributed to increased participation among Black women.
conclusionsIntentional and collaborative outreach efforts, emphasizing education, trust-building, and transparency, successfully increased representation of Black women in SUI-related patient engagement activities. The involvement of community organizations, clinicians, and patients was crucial in ensuring diverse representation and amplifying underrepresented voices in research prioritization efforts. This collaborative approach can serve as a model for enhancing racial diversity in patient engagement initiatives across health care research domains.
