Investigating the Usage of Abiraterone in African American Men with Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAfrican American men bear an unequal proportion of metastatic prostate cancer burden. The utilization of second-generation anti-androgens like abiraterone with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has become a standard therapy for metastatic prostate cancer. Thus, we aimed to examine the utilization of abiraterone with ADT in African American men with metastatic disease and determine whether disparities in its use exist.
methodsThis is a retrospective study, using a multi-institutional regional collaborative prostate cancer database. We compared the use of ADT with abiraterone between African American men and non-African American men diagnosed with distantly metastatic prostate cancer from July 2015 to August 2022, using logistic regression and negative binomial regression.
resultsWe identified 201 men with metastatic prostate cancer and of those, 28% were African American men. African American men were younger (47% vs. 27.8%, ≤ 69 years, p = 0.002), and younger men experienced a longer time between diagnosis of metastatic disease and receipt of ADT with abiraterone compared to older men (mean 125 vs. 14 days, p = 0.038). While African American and non-African American men had similar rates of ADT use with abiraterone, African American men experienced longer times between documented metastatic disease and initiation of ADT with abiraterone (mean 187 vs. 79 days, p = 0.042).
conclusionThe initiation of ADT with abiraterone was delayed by 3 months in African American men. This discrepancy warrants an investigation of system level barriers to the timely initiation of abiraterone in African American men given its known oncologic benefits.
