It's a Matter of Trust: Older African Americans Speak About Their Health Care Encounters.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
purposeTo examine perceptions of older African Americans' encounters with health care providers and ways to enhance trust.
methodTranscribed semi-structured interviews with African American senior center members were analyzed, using Pattern Coding method.
resultsFour themes emerged: "Added Insult of Ageism," "Alternative Remedies," "Good Providers in a 'Broken' System," and "The Foundation of Trust Is Person Recognition." Provider behaviors leading to mistrust included erroneously assuming stereotypical preferences and competence, spending inadequate time listening to patients, disregarding patient preferences, and insufficiently explaining treatments. DISCUSSION: Of importance to improving trust among older African American patients is valuing individual histories and preferences by reallocating scarce time to person-centered listening, individualizing treatments, more completely explaining interventions, and assuring that patients understand and agree with treatment plans.
