A Review of Medical Mistrust Across the Cancer Continuum of Care and Current Interventions.

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
Cancer disparities among populations in the United States are a persistent and ongoing challenge. Medical mistrust (MM), or the tendency to distrust individuals and systems even at the cost of one's own well-being, has been implicated in contributing to worse health outcomes. Thus, understanding the relationship between MM and cancer care disparities may inform effective interventions to improve outcomes for all. We conducted a two-step review: (1) a standard review to examine the relationship between MM and the cancer continuum of care, and (2) a systematic review to assess interventions targeted to mitigate MM in cancer care. The standard review included eleven studies, which revealed that MM impacted cancer screening, treatment adherence, clinical trial participation, and access to social support. Key mediators of MM included patient-provider discordance, health-related and sociodemographic-related discrimination, perceptions of Western medicine, low quality care, and health insurance. Our systematic review yielded twelve interventions-67% tailored towards screening, 17% towards patient navigation services, and 17% towards clinical trial participation. Key methods included adapting patient-centered (e.g. gathering patient perspectives, increasing racial and ethnic representation) and community-based approaches (e.g. use of churches and training family members to disseminate patient education) to overall create culturally tailored interventions against MM across the cancer continuum of care.
