"Maintaining hope:" challenges in counseling latino patients with advanced cancer.
Article in Journal of psychosocial oncology research and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundLatino cancer patients are at risk of poor psychological adjustment. Therapeutic effectiveness in treating Latino cancer patients with advanced cancer requires managing distress, therapeutic skill, and cultural competency. This mixed-methods study explored mental health providers' perceptions of the challenging aspects of counseling and caring for Latino patients with advanced cancer.
methodsMental health providers providing services to Latino or Hispanic cancer patients received an emailed web-based survey with open- and closed-ended questions. Providers included psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals. We invited 154 providers to participate from July 2015 to January 2017. One hundred and four accessed the survey, and 66 eligible providers responded, for a response rate of 43%. Analyses were used to explore whether clinical experience factors and training characteristics were associated with perceiving conversations about cancer (diagnosis, prognosis, and end-of-life) as challenging. Second, the challenging aspects of these conversations were explored qualitatively. Four independent coders coded responses; an inductive content analysis was utilized to analyze the data.
resultsMental health providers describe encountering many challenges in their therapeutic discussions with Latino cancer patients.
conclusionsIt is imperative to understand the factors associated with the perceived difficulty of these conversations, as well as the characteristics of these conversations, to develop culturally sensitive interventions and programs for patients and training interventions for providers.
