Impact of a bilingual education intervention on the quality of life of Latina breast cancer survivors.
Trial report in Oncology nursing forum, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 10 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
PURPOSE/
objectivesTo test the effectiveness of a bilingual education intervention to improve the quality of life (QOL) of Latina breast cancer survivors (BCSs) after completing primary treatment for breast cancer.
designA two-group prospective, longitudinal, randomized, controlled trial.
settingAn ambulatory-care setting of a designated comprehensive cancer center in southern California. SAMPLE: 52 English- and Spanish-speaking Latina BCSs.
methodsWomen were randomly assigned to the experimental or attention control group and completed measures of QOL, uncertainty, distress, and acculturation at baseline, and at three and six months postintervention. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: QOL, uncertainty, and distress.
findingsAfter controlling for acculturation, the four dimensions of QOL increased slightly in the groups or remained unchanged without significant group-by-time interaction. The social and psychological well-being subscales had the lowest scores, followed by physical and spiritual well-being. Although the group-by-time interaction was not statistically significant, the post-hoc difference for total QOL between time 2 and time 3 in the experimental group approached significance, with a slight increase in total QOL.
conclusionsLatina BCSs have multiple survivorship and QOL concerns that might put them at risk for poor QOL. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: More culturally congruent intervention studies are needed to address the paucity of intervention research with Latina BCS. KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION: Core values must be incorporated in the development of health education programs. Those programs also should be linguistically appropriate and available to non-English-speaking Latinas. In this way, the informational and supportive needs of all BCSs can be met.
