Identifying and Addressing Health Disparities among African American Men with Prostate Cancer: a Systematic Literature Review.
Synthesis in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo answer the research question inquiring which determinants lead to health disparities among African American Men with Prostate Cancer and what factors influence clinical decision making by oncologists when delivering prostate cancer interventions in order to improve morbidity and mortality.
methodsPrimary and secondary sources were extracted from articles located using Google Scholar and PubMed databases. Terms included in the literature search were "African American men," "prostate cancer," "determinants," "disparities," and "interventions." Focusing on these specific terms helped narrow the scope of this systematic review by indicating which studies met the inclusion criteria. Only 20 articles were included in this systematic review. Specific inclusion criteria for this review were: 1) a publication date between 2013 and the current year; 2) a focus on African American men diagnosed with prostate cancer; 3), randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and; 4) evidence-based interventions used by oncologists.
resultsThe articles included when this systematic review provide evidence that oncologists will need to play more central roles in preventing premature death when African American men who present a higher risk of prostate cancer compared to their White and Hispanic/Latino counterparts. Shared decision-making in screening and diagnosis is also essential to close health disparities as well as improve population-level health outcomes.
conclusionThe systematic review argues that oncologists will need to integrate population-based interventions capable of presenting strong empirical evidence about which determinants contribute to health disparities among African American men diagnosed with prostate cancer.
