Disparities in Supportive Care Needs Over Time Between Racial and Ethnic Minority and Non-Minority Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
contextLittle is known about inequities in supportive care needs among diverse patients with advanced lung cancer.
objectivesWe aimed to examine differences in supportive care needs between racial/ethnic minority and non-minority patients with lung cancer and identify how these needs change over time.
methodsWe performed a prospective cohort study of patients newly diagnosed with advanced lung cancer (stage III and IV). Patients completed a validated survey at baseline, 4-, 8- and 12-months post-diagnosis, assessing supportive care needs: medical communication/information, psychological/emotional support, daily living, financial concerns, physical symptoms, and spiritual and social needs. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses compared differences in supportive care needs between minority (Black and Latinx) and non-minority patients. A mixed effect model with minority status, follow-up time and the interaction between minority status and time assessed the association between each need and minority status with changes over time.
resultsWe enrolled 99 patients; 55 (56%) were minorities and 44 (44%) were non-minorities. At baseline, minorities reported significantly higher needs across each domain except medical communication/information. Over time, these reported differences remained consistent except for medical communication. After adjustment, the needs of both minorities and non-minorities increased significantly in the psychological/emotional, daily living and physical symptom domains.
conclusionMinority patients with advanced lung cancer are more likely to have higher baseline and persistent supportive care needs relatives to non-minority patients. Clinicians caring for minority patients with lung cancer should provide targeted supportive care evaluation and treatment to ensure health equity.
