Quality of life assessment among ethnically diverse Black prostate cancer survivors: a constructivist grounded theory approach.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeProstate cancer (CaP) is the most common cancer in Black men (BM), and the number of Black CaP survivors is rapidly increasing. Although Black immigrants are among the fastest-growing and most heterogeneous ethnic groups in the USA, limited data exist regarding their CaP experiences. Therefore, this study aimed to explore and model the experiences of ethnically diverse Black men with CaP.
methodsIn-depth interviews were conducted with 34 participants: native-born BM (NBBM) (n = 17), African-born BM (ABBM) (n = 11), and Caribbean-born BM (CBBM) (n = 6) CaP survivors recruited through QR code-embedded flyers posted in Black businesses, clinics, social media platforms, and existing research networks within the USA. Guided by Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory methodology, the interviews were analyzed using constant comparison following key stages of initial, focused, and theoretical coding using Atlas.ti v23.
resultsParticipants were thirty-four men aged 49-84 years (mean ± SD, 66 ± 8). Most were married (77%), likely to be diagnosed at stage I (35%), and treated with radiotherapy (56%). Our study findings explored the complex trajectory of Black prostate cancer (CaP) survivors, unveiling a comprehensive model termed "Journeying through Unfamiliar Terrain." Comprising three phases and 11 sub-phases, this model uniquely captures the pre-diagnosis awareness and post-treatment adaptation among survivors.
conclusionThe resulting theoretical model delineates the entire CaP survivorship process among BM, providing contextual and conceptual understanding for developing interventions and enhancing patient-centered care for ethnically diverse CaP survivors, pivotal in bridging the gaps in survivorship research and healthcare practices. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Black CAP survivors experience significant burdens and challenges that impact their overall quality of life. Understanding the factors that impact the complex survivorship journey can inform design and implementation of interventions to address the multiple challenges and thus improve quality of life.
