Exploring the use of family health histories in the African American community to reduce health disparities: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 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
backgroundHealth disparities are costly and preventable differences in disease progression that disproportionately affect minority communities. Practices to reduce health disparities are often rooted in prevention, particularly through screening tools. Family Health History tools are screening mechanisms that explore family history to better understand how an individual's health can be predicted or impacted. These tools are underutilized in the African American community. Contributions to underutilization include a lack of cultural tailoring in the tools, a lack of health literacy, and a lack of effective health communication. The Family Health History Study will create a culturally appropriate Family Health History toolkit to increase utilization and ultimately decrease health disparities.
methodsThe proposed sample will be composed of 195 African American adults ages 18+ who live in Genesee County, Michigan. The study consists of two phases: the development phase and the randomized control trial phase. The goal of the development phase (n = 95) is to explore how Family Health History toolkits can be modified to better serve the African American community using a community based participatory research approach and to create a culturally tailored family health history toolkit. In the RCT phase, 100 participants will be randomized to the culturally tailored toolkit or the current standard Family Health History toolkit. Outcomes will include feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. DISCUSSION: This study will result in a culturally appropriate Family Health History tool that is co-developed with community members that can be utilized by African American adults to better understand their family health histories.
