Drivers Influencing Prostate Cancer Treatment Decision making - A Qualitative Analysis of Underrepresented Men across the US.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo investigate decision drivers of prostate cancer treatment modalities by analyzing qualitative interviews among a cohort of underserved prostate cancer survivors. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery and Radiation (CEASAR) study is a prospective cohort study comparing treatment strategies for localized prostate cancer (n = 3691). Participants of the study were selected from 5 SEER registries: Atlanta, Los Angeles, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Utah. A subset of CEASAR participants were contacted for qualitative interviews (n = 66). Semi-structured phone interviews were then conducted between November 2020 and August 2021 by a trained qualitative researcher under the direction of senior investigators. This study re-examines qualitative data particularly among the underserved participants to explore additional themes that may not have been previously emphasized.
resultsOverall 27% (n = 18) of CEASAR patients who completed the qualitative interview were considered underserved: low SES background and/or racially and ethnically minoritized. Three themes of importance emerged from underserved men: financial toxicity 22% (n = 4/18), role as a primary caregiver 11% (n = 2/18), and medical mistrust 17% (n = 3/18), serving as alternative decision drivers that may have influenced underserved men's treatment choices and long-term reflections on those decisions.
conclusionAs one of the most longitudinal and diverse population-based observational studies to date on prostate cancer, the CEASAR study offers a unique perspective into the different aspects of care that may impact underserved prostate cancer survivors. This subgroup analysis of CEASAR provides insight into factors influencing decision making among underserved prostate cancer survivors.
