Healthcare Provider Communication Patterns during Consultations about Treating Localized Prostate Cancer.
Article in Journal of best practices in health professions diversity : research, education and policy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundDisparities in mortality in prostate cancer may reflect differences in healthcare providers' communication.
objectiveThis study examined physicians' communication with African American and Caucasian men when making decisions about treatment for localized prostate cancer to determine whether information-giving and partnership-building behaviors varied by the age, education level, and race of the patient.
methodsThe study was a secondary analysis of data from a larger study examining decisionmaking among men with prostate cancer. Verbatim transcripts of physician communication with 13 African American and 32 Caucasian patients were coded using a well-established scheme.
resultsPhysicians tended to use information-giving and partnership-building behaviors more often with patients who were Caucasian, but this practice was tempered by the patient's age or education level.
conclusionInformation-giving and partnership-building behaviors should be studied relative to patient outcomes, such as treatment adherence and satisfaction. Communication is a two-way interaction, and patients' perceptions should be included in future studies. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Biases, assumptions, and differential behavior toward patients who are older, minorities, or less educated must be addressed during all healthcare providers' socialization and education. All will benefit from their education in communication and partnership-building with patients.
