The impact of social determinants of health on Black men at the point of prostate cancer diagnosis: a scoping review.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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) disproportionately affects Black men, who face higher rates of late diagnosis and more aggressive disease. This study explores the social determinants of health and emotional support at the point of prostate cancer diagnosis (PPCD) and how these factors influence navigation, emotional responses, and healthcare behaviors among Black men.
methodsA comprehensive scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA Extensions framework. Articles were sourced from PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to May 2022. Screening and reference management were completed using Covidence and Zotero software.
resultsAnalysis of 72,710 participants revealed that race and socio-demographics significantly impacted prostate cancer treatment delays, emotional well-being, and substance use in Black men. Five studies examined quality of life, showing that factors such as medical mistrust, fatalism, exercise, and spirituality influence well-being.
conclusionsThe PPCD phase is crucial for addressing the emotional, socioeconomic, and spiritual factors that shape Black men's experiences with CaP. This review underscores the importance of individualized, culturally sensitive approaches to reduce disparities and improve support for Black prostate cancer survivors.
