1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBlack women in the US face higher cervical cancer mortality rates due to delayed diagnoses linked to lower screening rates. Contributing factors include provider bias, costs, and limited access, particularly affecting women aged 40-64. While innovative approaches like clinical and home-based HPV self-collection exist, equitable dissemination remains challenging. Distributing HPV self-collection kits in unconventional sites like hair salons may offer a solution. Using concept mapping, we gathered community insights to design a salon-based cervical cancer screening intervention.

methodsWe employed groupwisdom™ and REDCap platforms for community-based participatory intervention development. Participants included members of the Black Community Advisory Council of Tucson (Black CACTus), comprising hairstylists (n = 3), salon clients (n = 4), and healthcare providers(n = 3), all identifying as Black women aged 23-53. Concept mapping included: 1) Brainstorming statements, 2) Sorting statements into thematic clusters, 3) Rating importance and feasibility, 4) Reviewing the cluster map, and 5) Evaluating a draft intervention.

resultsBrainstorming produced 39 statements, forming six clusters: 1) Program Promotion, 2) Insurance, Cost & Benefits, 3) Communication Considerations, 4) Information and Education, 5) Overall Logistics and Process, and 6) Sample Collection. Communication Considerations and Sample Collection were rated most important, with Communication Considerations also ranking highest for feasibility. Communication Considerations, Information and Education, and Sample Collection were the highest rated when importance and feasibility were considered together.

conclusionsEngaging community perspectives is essential for adapting cancer screening from clinical settings to community spaces like hair salons. This collaborative concept mapping approach identified strategies to enhance cervical cancer screening access and uptake among Black women.
