Attitudes of older adults regarding disclosure of complementary therapy use to physicians.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Many older adults use complementary therapies in health self-management but do not disclose this use to their physicians. This article examines factors affecting disclosure of complementary therapy use and considers ethnic and gender differences in disclosure. It is based on a systematic qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with 62 African American and White adults aged 65 and older. Twenty-three of the 39 older adults who acknowledge using complementary therapies disclose this to their physicians. Themes leading to disclosure are believing that physicians are supportive and the importance of sharing information. Themes for not disclosing complementary therapy use include physicians’ negative views, complementary therapy use affecting physicians’ incomes, and the need to protect cultural knowledge. African American women were least likely to discloseuse. Disclosure by older adults to their physicians is a complex decision process. Medical encounters, including decisions regarding information to disclose, are embedded in broader social structures.
