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

backgroundCancer survivors' unmet care needs can negatively affect well-being and quality of life, yet few studies focus on how Hispanic/Latino (Hispanic) survivors' needs may differ from those of non-Hispanic White (NHW) survivors.

aimsTo explore unmet needs of cancer survivors by ethnicity.

methodsA population-based sample of adult survivors in Utah was surveyed. Demographic and cancer characteristics of survivors reporting unmet needs and those without needs were compared using chi-square, Wilcoxon rank sum, and Fisher's exact tests. Crude and adjusted logistic regression models predicting likelihood of reporting unmet needs were conducted, stratified by ethnicity. Open-ended questions assessed unmet care needs and were analyzed using directed content analysis.

resultsAmong 2015 survey respondents, 516 described unmet needs in open-ended responses; 31.3% of Hispanic survivors reported unmet care needs compared to 25.2% of NHW survivors (p = 0.019). Among both Hispanic and NHW survivors, age was inversely associated with odds of reporting unmet needs (Hispanic: adjusted OR 0.97; CI 0.95, 0.99; NHW: adjusted OR 0.96; CI 0.95, 0.97). Unmet needs of the sample aligned with the Social Ecological Model (SEM) categories: (1) Individual; (2) Interpersonal; (3) Organizational; and (4) Structural. Financial burden, a structural unmet care need, was reported by 24 (22.2%) Hispanic survivors compared to 45 (11.0%) NHW survivors (p = 0.004).

conclusionsIn this state-wide sample, Hispanic cancer survivors were more likely to report unmet care needs than NHW survivors, especially financial burden.
