Harambee! 2.0: Community resources and resilience factors to leverage for improving HIV testing behaviors among African immigrant communities in Seattle, Washington.
Article in PloS one, 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
Significant challenges promoting positive HIV testing behaviors among African immigrant communities in the U.S. persist, though existing community resources may be leveraged to improving these behaviors and increasing testing uptake. We conducted 30 key informant interviews and five focus group discussions (n = total 72 participants) among members of the Ethiopian, Somali, and Eritrean communities in Seattle, WA to identify these resources. Our findings highlight the following three main themes for responsive interventions: (1) capitalize on religious leaders and institutions as key facilitators; (2) leverage existing community resources, such as ethnic community centers, health boards, and healthcare professionals; and (3) utilize existing culturally-rich media for health promotion, centering on multi-linguality, -culturality, and -generationality. Our findings suggest that a wealth of community resources and resilience factors exist to leverage to improve HIV testing behaviors among African immigrant communities in the U.S.
