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

Despite notable differences in cancer incidence and outcomes, fewer American Indians have participated in cancer research and genomic testing relative to their population size. Contributing factors include historical scientific mistrust, lack of culturally appropriate research methodologies, and limited access. With the launch of a cancer genomic sequencing trial in American Indians from the Southwestern United States (US), clinicians and staff encountered challenges engaging patients, recognizing the complexity of research in this population. We describe a novel approach to educate study team members regarding genomic cancer testing and research in American Indian populations. Clinical faculty and staff investigators participated in (1) hands-on experiential workshops related to core beliefs and healthcare in American Indians and (2) the development of provider-facing educational materials. After participation in the workshops, investigators, including American Indian researchers, created two sets of provider-facing materials and implemented them in clinic. The first provided a summary detailing trial eligibility, procedures, and privacy safeguards. The second outlined topics fostering respectful engagement of American Indians in research, outlining core beliefs including the importance of family and community in decisions, a framework of inherent cycles in human life and nature, the importance of visual aids, and the complementary nature of traditional healing. An approach incorporating cultural training for clinicians and staff is feasible when engaging American Indians of the Southwestern US in genomic research. This methodology may serve as a model for future initiatives to engage with American Indians in cancer research and in both clinical and research related genomic testing.
