Co-Designing Culturally Tailored Bowel, Cervical and Breast Cancer Screening Interventions With Migrant Communities: Towards Closing the Migration-Related Cancer-Equity Gap in New South Wales, Australia.

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
backgroundMigrants in Australia experience persistent cancer-equity gaps, with later-stage diagnoses linked to low screening participation. This study aimed to co-design cancer screening interventions with migrant and refugee communities to promote equitable participation and reduce disparities in bowel, cervical and breast cancer screening in New South Wales, Australia.
methodsUsing stratified convenience sampling, 90 first-generation Middle Eastern and Sub-Saharan African migrants across five NSW regions participated in 10 face-to-face nominal group technique sessions to elicit and rank intervention priorities.
resultsParticipants identified 24 priority actions for bowel cancer screening, 11 for breast, and eight for cervical cancer, grouped into intervention domains. Bowel cancer drew the broadest response, spanning cancer literacy, policy reform, community action, and monitoring and evaluation. Breast cancer priorities centred on literacy and policy, while cervical cancer input focused on literacy and behavioural confidence. Increasing cancer literacy, shifting behaviours and enacting supportive policy reform emerged as consistent priorities across all three cancers.
conclusionImproving migrant and refugee participation across all three screening programs requires culturally grounded interventions that build cancer literacy and leverage trusted networks including peers, community champions and frontline health workers. Settlement programs, community organisations and schools provide critical infrastructure for sustained screening education, while policy reforms including age threshold reductions, incentive mechanisms and improved access support are essential to achieving equitable outcomes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Migrants with lived experience, cancer caregivers and community champions played a central role in setting priorities and co-designing intervention options.
