A pre-post survey analysis of satisfaction with health care and medical mistrust after patient navigation for American Indian cancer patients.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 7 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
purposeTo assess the impact of patient navigation (PN) on satisfaction with health care and medical mistrust among American Indians (AI) undergoing cancer treatment.
methodsThis was a pre-post cohort survey study of 52 AI cancer patients who participated in a culturally-tailored PN program during their cancer treatment. Surveys were administered prior to and after cancer treatment assessing medical mistrust and satisfaction with health care using two Likert-type scales.
resultsParticipation refusal rate was 7%. Mean scale scores for satisfaction with health care were significantly improved after PN compared with pre-navigation (p<.0001; Wilcoxon signed-rank test). There was no significant difference in the mean scale scores for medical mistrust after PN compared with those observed prior to treatment (p=.13).
conclusionsAmerican Indian cancer patients who received PN services during their cancer treatment showed improvement in levels of satisfaction with health. However, no improvements were observed in levels of medical mistrust.
