Community Model for Education and Engagement of Black Women About Uterine Fibroids.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
Uterine fibroids (UF) affect up to 80% of women of reproductive age, with Black women experiencing disproportionate rates and symptom severity. Despite significant UF prevalence, Black women face delayed diagnosis and treatment due to lack of awareness, menstrual stigma, and healthcare distrust. This two-phase, mixed-methods study developed and evaluated a patient-centered, community-based UF education intervention to address these challenges. In Phase 1, focus groups with Black women identified gaps in UF knowledge, preferences for educational delivery, and trust-related communication barriers with healthcare providers. Findings informed the design of educational sessions implemented in Phase 2 across community venues in a large midwestern city, engaging 110 participants. Post-session evaluations revealed significant improvements in participants' confidence in UF knowledge, with satisfaction rates exceeding 90%. This study underscores the value of community-based education facilitated by trusted Black female healthcare providers. This model demonstrates feasibility and potential for addressing other health issues that disproportionately impact Black women by integrating patient perspectives and leveraging community-based settings for health education.
