Quality of cancer follow-up care: a focus on 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 8 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
introductionReceiving quality cancer follow-up care influences survivorship outcomes. Among Latinas, breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death; yet Latinas do not receive adequate follow-up care. This study examined quality of cancer follow-up care among Latina breast cancer survivors (BCS) and whether it differs by participant language and healthcare system variables (provider specialty, and medical setting).
methodsTwo hundred thirty-two (95 English-speaking Latina and 137 Spanish-speaking) Latina BCS were recruited from the California Cancer Registry, hospital cancer registries, and community agencies.
resultsEnglish-speaking Latina BCS were more likely to report receiving cancer follow-up care at a doctor's office (p < 0.001). BCS without a regular place for cancer follow-up care were more likely to report not seeing a primary care provider (p < 0.05) or cancer specialist (p < 0.001) in the past 12 months. English-speaking Latina BCS (p < 0.001), BCS who saw a cancer specialist in the past 12 months (p < 0.001), and received follow-up care at a doctor's office (p < 0.05) reported higher quality of care. Speaking English, having seen a cancer specialist, and receiving follow-up care at a doctor's office were independently associated with higher quality of care, explaining 44 % of the variance.
conclusionsOur study findings suggest that examining the influence of ethnic and linguistic factors on quality of cancer follow-up care is necessary to address health disparities. Improved access to cancer follow-up care for Spanish-speaking Latina BCS is of particular concern. IMPLICATION OF CANCER SURVIVORS: Identifying follow-up care needs of Latina BCS may contribute to providing high-quality care and improved survivorship outcomes.
