1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesPatient-centered care (PCC) experiences can vary by race and ethnicity and likely contribute to cancer care disparities. We compared PCC concepts between Non-Hispanic White (White), Hispanic, and Non-Hispanic Black (Black) cancer patients utilizing Critical Race Theory (CRT) to understand the relationships between racial-ethnic identity and PCC.

methodsA thematic analysis and in-depth CRT-informed analysis of individual interviews exploring patient values, unmet needs, preferences, and priorities were performed.

resultsParticipants were aged> 25 yrs old, 53% male, and included 5 Hispanic, 4 Black and 6 White cancer patients. Unmet needs for time to make decisions, and provider interaction between visits and the value for finding meaning in the illness emerged among Blacks and Whites. The unmet need for a long-term treatment plan emerged among Blacks, and the preference of research participation among Whites. A value for optimism was observed among Hispanics and Whites. Racial-ethnic variations in patient descriptions and experiences of their values, unmet needs, preferences, and priorities were identified.

conclusionsUnderrepresented groups face subtle but significant challenges in feeling cared for and understood, voicing concerns, and obtaining quality care. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Increased mutual understanding and provider knowledge of unique PCC experiences among underrepresented cancer patients are needed.
