Racism, discrimination, medical mistrust, stigma, and lung cancer screening: a scoping review.
Article in Ethnicity & health, 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
objectiveLung cancer screening can reduce lung cancer-specific mortality, but it is widely underutilized, especially among minoritized populations that bear a disproportionate burden of lung cancer, such as Black Americans. Racism, discrimination, medical mistrust, and stigma contribute to lower uptake of preventive screenings in general, but the role these factors play in lung cancer screening is unclear. We therefore conducted a scoping review to synthesize the literature regarding how racism, discrimination, medical mistrust, and stigma relate to lung cancer screening.
designInformed by PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we searched five databases for relevant literature, and two trained researchers independently reviewed articles for relevance. We conducted a narrative, descriptive analysis of included articles.
resultsA total of 45 studies met our inclusion criteria. Most articles reported on medical mistrust or one of its cognates (e.g. trust and distrust,
conclusionsOverall, novel interventions are needed to promote trust and reduce mistrust, distrust, and stigma in lung cancer screening initiatives. Dedicated efforts are especially needed to understand and address the roles that racism and discrimination may play in lung cancer screening.
