Navigating the advanced cancer experience of underserved Latinas.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectivePrevious cancer research does not adequately inform us about the experiences of managing a more serious, life-threatening cancer condition, especially for underserved Latinas. This study was designed to explore the ways in which Latinas navigate through and deal with advanced cancers.
methodsA purposive sample of 24 underserved Latina women was selected from a randomized controlled trial. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach to explore navigation of the advanced cancer experience.
resultsThis study outlines a conceptual framework which denotes the interconnectedness of multiple factors that influence the cancer experience for Latina women. Experiences with advanced cancer were embedded within a social, cultural, and systemic framework described as 1) intrapersonal experiences; 2) interpersonal experiences; 3) provider interactions; and 4) medical system factors.
conclusionsThis study indicates that underserved Latinas face complex circumstances that interfere with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, women expressed positive attitudes and held beliefs about survival which helped them through their experience with cancer. The implication of these findings is that Latinas have protective attitudes and beliefs that help them to overcome "tragic" circumstances. Providers need to become aware of the complexity of these issues in order to achieve competent, effective, and efficient practice in medical settings with Latinas.
