Occurrence of comorbidities among African-American and Latina breast cancer survivors.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundThe co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions in cancer patients is common and can have negative impact on cancer and cancer survivorship outcomes. This study aimed to document comorbidity occurrence among African-American and Latina (English language preferred (ELP) and Spanish language preferred (SLP)) breast cancer survivors (BCS).
methodsEighty-eight African-American, 95 ELP Latina, and 137 SLP Latina BCS were recruited via case ascertainment from the California Cancer Registry and hospital registries. BCS completed a self-report questionnaire assessing demographic and cancer characteristics, and presence of comorbidities.
resultsOverall, 75% of BCS reported at least one comorbidity with arthritis (37%), high blood pressure (37%), psychological difficulties (29%), and diabetes (19%) being most commonly endorsed. SLP Latinas were more likely to report diabetes (29%), psychological difficulties (42%), and >3 comorbidities (p < 0.05). Latina BCS were twice as likely to report osteoporosis and headaches compared to African-Americans; while one in two African-Americans reported hypertension and arthritis. Older age was correlated with arthritis, diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that investigating the occurrence of comorbidities across ethnic groups may shed some light in understanding cancer survivorship risk for poor health outcomes and health disparities. Having a better grasp of comorbid conditions may aid in more appropriate early assessment, better follow-up care, surveillance, and management of the cancer and the comorbid condition(s). IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Integrated control and management of comorbidities among cancer survivors has the potential to improve quality care for the whole person, and increase survival and decrease morbidity.
