Prevalence and Predictors of Medical Mistrust Among African Americans with Serious Mental Illness Receiving Care in an Urban Setting.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Patients with serious mental illness are reported to have a 10-25 year reduction in life expectancy. Medical mistrust may influence their willingness to seek care (Bynum, S. A., Davis, J. L., Green, B. L., & Katz, R. V. (2012). Unwillingness to participate in colorectal cancer screening: Examining fears, attitudes, and medical mistrust in an ethnically diverse sample of adults 50 years and older. American Journal of Health Promotion : Ajhp, 26(5), 295-300. https://doi.org/10.4278/ajhp.110113-QUAN-20 ). This cross-sectional study used baseline data from a SAMHSA funded demonstration project to describe the prevalence and of medical mistrust among a sample of African American adults with serious mental illness. Medical mistrust was identified using the Medical Mistrust Scale. One hundred and fifty-four participants completed the medical mistrust scale. Approximately, a third (34.4%) reported medical mistrust. After adjusting for financial stability, those endorsing medical mistrust reported nearly 3 times the odds of lacking support (AOR [95% CI]: 2.84 [1.01-7.97]) compared to those not endorsing medical mistrust. The study is among the first to describe elevated rates of medical mistrust among a sample of African Americans people with serious mental illness. An association between medical mistrust and lack of social support was demonstrated.
