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

Disparities in cancer outcomes persist among systemically marginalized patients. A new racially, ethnically, or linguistically concordant (RELC) model of patient navigation (PN) was piloted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in 2019. An explanatory mixed-methods observational study assessed patient-centered outcomes of RELC PN, traditional PN, and no PN. Patients from these models completed surveys at baseline and follow-up to measure changes in satisfaction, discrimination, resilience, stress, trust, and discussion of clinical trials. Interviews with patients receiving RELC PN were analyzed using thematic analysis. A total of 118 participants completed surveys. Satisfaction with care improved by 4.2 points (SD 7.0) on an 18-item 5-point Likert scale for those receiving RELC navigation, with no change in traditional or no PN groups. Discrimination based on race dropped from 40% (
