Mammography Screening Among Latinas: Does Gender and Ethnic Patient-Physician Concordance Matter?
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Latinas. Dominican women in particular have a higher lifetime risk of breast cancer than do other Latinas in the U.S. This study examines how gender, ethnic, and language concordance between providers and patients are associated with recent mammography screening for Latina immigrant women from the Dominican Republic. We conducted structured interviews, in Spanish, with 419 Dominican women aged 40 years or older living in New York City. Using bivariate analysis and logistic regressions, we tested whether patient-provider gender, ethnic, and language concordance was associated with recent mammography when controlling for demographic covariates, breast cancer screening knowledge, and self-rated health. Gender concordance predicted recent mammography after controlling for covariates (β = 0.13). Neither ethnic nor language concordance significantly predicted recent mammography. Our findings suggest that promotion of patient-provider gender concordance may help reduce health disparities among Latinos/as and other minority groups across the United States.
