Fostering inclusive participation in non-invasive neurotechnology research: a community-based study with an underrepresented population.

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
Despite the growing role of neurotechnologies in neuroscience and clinical care, Black African communities remain critically underrepresented in the UK research and clinical trials. Historical lack of diversity in neurotechnology studies raises important concerns regarding accessibility, trust, cultural appropriateness, and whether research practices and emerging technologies adequately reflect the needs and lived experiences of underrepresented communities. This study presents, to our knowledge, the first comprehensive community-led, mixed-methods investigation into barriers and enablers of participation in non-invasive neurotechnology research within a UK Somali community. Moving beyond laboratory-based engagement approaches, we co-designed and delivered a three-workshop programme covering neuroimaging (EEG/fNIRS), brain stimulation, and reflective co-creation, hosted within a trusted community center with gender-matched facilitation and interpreter support. The study focused on identifying practical, cultural, and structural barriers affecting participation in neurotechnology research and on co-producing inclusive adaptations to improve accessibility and acceptability. Thirty community members (balanced by gender) took part in workshops, focus groups, and interviews; a subset (
