Barbershop-based lung health navigation for Black men: A feasibility study.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 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
Objective: Black men experience a disproportionate burden of lung cancer yet remain underrepresented in screening and smoking cessation programs. Community-based approaches combining culturally relevant information with patient navigation may help address these gaps. Methods: This Phase II developmental feasibility study examined a culturally targeted, navigator-led lung health intervention to support knowledge, decision-making, and early engagement with lung cancer screening and cessation resources among Black men who smoke (March 2023-June 2024). Forty participants recruited through barbershop outreach completed three staged sessions-an in-person educational visit with targeted materials and a screening decision aid, followed by brief navigation contacts. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and 6-week follow-up. Results: Participants demonstrated improvements in lung cancer-related knowledge, decisional clarity, and readiness to consider screening and cessation. Satisfaction with targeted materials and navigator support was high. Nearly half reported contacting healthcare providers regarding screening, and some scheduled low-dose CT examinations, while Quitline engagement remained modest. Conclusion: Findings support the feasibility and acceptability of culturally targeted navigation delivered in barbershops and may strengthen early behavioral engagement along the lung health continuum for Black men. Larger controlled trials with longer follow-up are needed to evaluate sustained behavioral outcomes.
