Cervical Cancer Screening Beliefs and Practices Among Black Immigrant Women From Africa and the Caribbean Living in Massachusetts.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 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
objectivesTo examine the cervical cancer screening beliefs and practices of Black immigrant women from sub-Saharan African or Caribbean countries living in Massachusetts. SAMPLE &
setting19 women who self-identified as being sub-Saharan African or Caribbean, spoke English, were foreign-born, were aged 25-65 years, and had been living in the United States for at least six months were included. METHODS & VARIABLES: A qualitative descriptive design and thematic analysis were used. A semistructured interview guide was developed based on the PEN-3 cultural model.
resultsFacilitators of cervical cancer screening included a sense of personal responsibility to maintain one's health, cultivating trust within the healthcare system, and cultivating community support. Barriers included pain and fear, navigating a new identity as a Black immigrant, a lack of formal education on sexual health, and challenges accessing the healthcare system. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Culturally tailored resources and community partnerships may be useful in promoting cervical cancer screening in Black immigrant women.
