1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeSignificant disparities exist in cancer detection, treatment, and outcomes for racial/ethnic minoritized groups in the US. The objective of this study was to explore racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare utilization, cancer care experiences, and beliefs about cancer in patients diagnosed with cancer among diverse racial/ethnic groups in the US.

methodsData from the Health Information National Trends Survey -Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (HINTS-SEER 2021) were analyzed for 1,108 cancer survivors. Bivariate analysis of the study variables with race/ethnicity were conducted with weighted analysis from STATA version 17. Sampling weights using svy was conducted.

resultsRacial/ethnic differences in healthcare utilization remained significant when controlling for the confounding factors. Asians and Hispanics were less likely to have a regular healthcare provider compared to non-Hispanic whites (NHW) (aOR = 3.31, p = .003; aOR = 2.17, p = .014; respectively). Asians were less likely than NHW to have had healthcare provider visits in the past 12 months (aOR = 4.89, p = .011). There were no statistically significant differences between racial/ethnic groups in the cancer care experiences. Racial/ethnic differences in fatalistic beliefs about cancer were not significant in the final multivariate model; however, being older (β = -.41, p = .033), and having a higher education level (β = -1.23, p < .001), were associated with lower level of fatalistic beliefs about cancer.

conclusionThe findings suggest tailored approaches to improve healthcare utilization rates among racial/ethnic minoritized groups and highlight the need for increased research and clinical practice efforts to address racial/ethnic disparities in the cancer care continuum.
