Anxiety and depression among Black breast cancer survivors: Examining the role of patient-provider communication and cultural values.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveBreast cancer survivors frequently experience anxiety and depression post-treatment. Patient-provider communication and cultural values may impact these psychological outcomes. We examined the impact of patient-provider communication and cultural values on anxiety and depression among Black breast cancer survivors.
methodsUsing an observational, cross-sectional design, 351 survivors self-reported patient-provider communication (quality, confidence), cultural values (religiosity, collectivism, future time orientation), anxiety, and depression. Patients were categorized into high, moderate, and low levels of communication and cultural values. Separate linear regressions examined the effect of levels of communication and cultural values on anxiety and depression, controlling for sociodemographic variables.
resultsA subset of breast cancer survivors reported clinically significant symptoms of anxiety (40%) and depression (20%). Communication was associated with anxiety (β = -0.14, p = 0.01) and depression (β = -0.10, p = 0.04). Specifically, women reporting higher levels of communication quality/confidence reported lower levels of anxiety and depression. There was a trend towards a significant association between cultural values and depression (β = -0.09, p = 0.06).
conclusionsBlack breast cancer survivors experience poor psychological functioning. Effective patient-provider communication may reduce anxiety and depression post-treatment. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Patient-provider relationships and patient empowerment may be key components of cancer survivorship. Special attention should be paid to patient-centered communication for Black breast cancer survivors.
