Knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy toward cancer genetic testing among Black women with and without breast cancer.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 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
objectiveTo assess knowledge and attitudes regarding cancer genetic testing among Black women with and without breast cancer and to identify individual-level predictors of these outcomes.
methodsParticipants were 927 women who completed a questionnaire about personal and family history of cancer; prior hereditary cancer genetic testing; and cancer genetics knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Linear regression was used to examine predictors of cancer genetics knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy.
resultsKnowledge scores did not differ between women who had a history of breast cancer (mean, 12.5/16; SD 2.4) and those who did not (mean, 12.3; SD, 2.4). The majority of women answered most questions correctly; however, incorrect responses were common for questions about inherited cancer etiology (34% answered incorrectly), test limitations (44%), and clinical implications of a variant of uncertain significance (71%). Personal breast cancer history was associated with more favorable attitudes but not self-efficacy. Significant predictors of knowledge, attitudes, or self-efficacy included age, educational attainment, and marital status.
conclusionsOverall knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding cancer genetic testing were high among U.S. Black women regardless of prior breast cancer, though educational gaps remain.
