Lung Cancer Mortality Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Patient Experiences with Care: a SEER-CAHPS Study.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundTo determine whether there are racial/ethnic disparities in patient experiences with care among lung cancer survivors, whether they are associated with mortality.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of lung cancer survivors > 65 years old who completed a CAHPS survey > 6 months after the date of diagnosis. We used data from the SEER-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers Systems (SEER-CAHPS®) database from 2000 to 2013 to assess racial/ethnic differences in patient experiences with care multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to assess the association between patient experience with care scores mortality in each racial/ethnic group.
resultsWithin our cohort of 2603 lung cancer patients, Hispanic patients reported lower adjusted mean score with their ability to get needed care compared to white patients (B: - 5.21, 95% CI: - 9.03, - 1.39). Asian patients reported lower adjusted mean scores with their ability to get care quickly (- 4.25 (- 8.19, - 0.31)), get needed care (- 7.06 (- 10.51, - 3.61)), get needed drugs (- 9.06 (- 13.04, - 5.08)). For Hispanic patients, a 1-unit score increase in their ability to get all needed care (HR: 1.02, 1.00-1.03) care coordination (1.06, 1.02-1.09) was associated with higher risk of mortality. Among black patients, a 1-unit score increase in their ability to get needed care (HR: 0.99, 95% CI 0.98-0.99) care coordination (0.97, 0.94-0.99) was associated with lower risk mortality.
conclusionsThere are racial/ethnic disparities in lung cancer patient experiences with care that may impact mortality. Patient experiences with care are important risk factors of mortality for certain racial/ethnic groups.
