Community Member and Health Care Provider Perspectives on Communication With Chinese American Patients With Cancer: A Qualitative Study.
Article in JCO oncology practice, 2022. 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
purposeEffective health care provider-patient discussions of cancer diagnoses and prognoses are essential to enhance health outcomes in oncology. Chinese Americans have been designated an underserved population in oncology by the National Institutes of Health. We explored the perspectives of Boston Chinese American community members and health care providers regarding communication preferences and decision making in oncology care.
methodsIn this inductive, qualitative study, we conducted virtual, semi-structured interviews with 21 health care providers with experience in caring for Chinese American patients with cancer and 25 older Boston Chinatown community members who self-identify as Chinese or Chinese American. Thematic analysis was performed.
resultsTwo major themes were identified. First, provider communication should incorporate a gentle but truthful approach, careful word choice, authority-led style, and professionalism. Second, the family plays a large role in medical and nonmedical settings, and a family-centered approach to communication should be used.
conclusionOur study builds on and challenges current knowledge regarding oncologic communication with Chinese American patients. A focus on the improvement of provider-patient cancer communication for Chinese Americans will improve care quality and satisfaction among patients and clinicians alike and serve to decrease disparities in care.
