Cancer Journey for American Indians and Alaska Natives in the Pacific Northwest .
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
PURPOSE/
objectivesTo describe the experiences of American Indian and Alaska Native cancer survivors to improve understanding of the trajectory of cancer treatment. . RESEARCH APPROACH: Qualitative focus group research. .
settingRural and geographically isolated American Indian and Alaska Native communities in the Pacific Northwest. .
participants30 American Indian and Alaska Native cancer survivors or caregivers. . METHODOLOGIC APPROACH: The authors analyzed data from two focus groups with cancer survivors by using thematic analysis informed by indigenous methodologies. .
findingsBased on focus group findings, the authors developed a conceptual model of the cancer experience called Rough Waters. Participants described their cancer experience as a collective journey involving family and friends and requiring resources to offset challenges along the way. Dominant themes were delays, isolation, communication, money, advocacy, spirituality, and family involvement. .
conclusionsAmerican Indians and Alaska Natives in the Pacific Northwest have special cultural needs during cancer care. The current study provides examples that can guide patient-provider interactions. .
interpretationUsing the metaphor of cancer as a journey, clinicians can begin a dialogue to identify what will impede or assist the cancer journey for their American Indian and Alaska Native patients.
