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
objectiveAlthough a number of factors contribute to racial disparities in breast cancer outcomes, perceived discrimination in healthcare may be a key factor that hinders positive interactions and negatively impacts patient outcomes. The goals of our study were to (1) assess the prevalence of perceived discrimination as reported by breast cancer patients and (2) identify factors related to discrimination in women overall as well as by race.
designThis study is a secondary analysis of a larger study, "Narrowing the Gaps in Adjuvant Therapy," where a convenience sample of 359 women completed one telephone survey assessing sociodemographics, and attitudes and beliefs concerning breast cancer treatments and care. Chi-square analysis was used to assess the relationship of categorical variables with perceived discrimination, while the F-test was employed for continuous variables. Logistic regression determined predictors of perceived discrimination, a dichotomous variable (none vs. any).
resultsA majority of women were Black (58%), privately insured (85%), and had at least a Bachelor's degree (48%). Discrimination was reported by 32.4% of women, with significantly more Black women reporting discrimination than White women. Insurance status, attitudes toward treatment, and distress factors were significantly related to perceived discrimination. In the logistic model, women who were less trusting of their providers (OR = 0.863 [0.751, 0.993], p = .021) and Black women (OR = 7.241 [0.751, 0.993], p = .039) were more likely to report incidences of discrimination.
conclusionsOur findings suggest a need to understand Black survivor's experiences with healthcare. Similarly, future work must focus on identifying ways to improve provider trust amongst breast cancer survivors.
