Racial differences in patient perception of interactions with providers are associated with health outcomes in type II diabetes.

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
objectivesExamine the association of patient perceptions of care with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), medication adherence, and missed appointments in non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and White (NHW) patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
methodsWe used linear and logistic regression models to analyze the association of the Interpersonal Processes of Care survey (IPC) with HbA1c, medication adherence, and missed appointments. We then examined how these associations differed by race.
resultsThere was no overall association between IPC subdomains and HbA1c in our sample (N = 221). NHB patients perceiving their provider always explained results and medications had a HbA1c on average 0.59 (-1.13, -0.04; p = 0.04) points lower than those perceiving their provider sometimes explained results and medications. No effect was observed in NHWs. Never perceiving disrespect from office staff was associated with an average 0.67 (-1.1, -0.24; p = 0.002) point improvement in medication adherence for all patients. Never perceiving discrimination from providers was associated with a 0.44 (-0.63, -0.25; p < 0.0001) decrease in the probability of missing an appointment for NHB patients.
conclusionsThese results demonstrate that particular aspects of communication in the patient-provider interaction may contribute to racial disparities in T2DM. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Communication training for both providers and staff may reduce disparities in T2DM.
