Patients' age and discussion with doctors about lung cancer screening; Diminished returns of Blacks.
Article in Aging medicine (Milton (N.S.W)), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundAs age is one of the main risk factors for lung cancer, older adults are expected to receive more messages for lung cancer screening (LCS). It is, however, unclear whether age similarly increases patient's chance of discussing LCS across various racial groups.
objectiveTo determine racial differences in the effect of patients' age on patient-physician discussion about LCS.
methodsThis cross-sectional study borrowed data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 2017) which included 2,277 adults. Patients' demographic factors, socioeconomic characteristics, smoking status, possible LCS indication, and patient-physician discussion about LCS were measured. We ran logistic regression models for data analysis.
resultsIndependent of possible LCS indication, older patients were more likely to have patient-physician discussion about LCS. However, there is a significant interaction between race and age, suggesting a larger effect of age on the likelihood of discussing LCS with doctors for Whites than Blacks. In race-stratified models that controlled for possible LCS indication, higher age increased lung cancer discussion for Whites but not for Blacks.
conclusionsWhether age increases the chance of discussing LCS or not depends on the patient's race, with Blacks receiving fewer messages regarding LCS as a result of their aging.
