Predictors of Breast Cancer Screening Among Immigrant Garifuna Women.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
backgroundCancer screening disparities exist among immigrants in the USA, yet the cancer screening behaviors of ethnic Black immigrants remains relatively unknown. The Garifuna, an Afro-Amerindian group, experience structural forces in their homelands and urban settling communities in the USA with little known of their cancer screening behaviors. The purpose of this study is to examine breast cancer screening practices among Garifuna women residing in communities within New York City. The study examined levels of adherence to recommended breast cancer screening guidelines and their association with demographic factors, access to healthcare services, perceptions/barriers, level of acculturation, identity, and breast cancer screening guideline knowledge.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional survey of immigrant Garifuna women, age 50 years and older, residing in New York City. Univariate analysis described the survey study sample and bivariate analysis measured level of association between variables. Logistic regression examined the predictive nature of variables in explaining breast cancer screening adherence to screening guidelines.
resultsFour hundred and two Garifuna women completed surveys over a 22-month period. Garifuna women had breast cancer screening rates of 82%, higher than the national screening rate of 72%. Longer length of time in the USA, access to healthcare, and motivation to receive screenings were significant predictors of receiving screening.
conclusionsThe study identified positive structural forces in the New York City community such as access to healthcare that may explain adherence to recommended breast cancer screening guidelines among immigrant Garifuna women.
