Supporting Black breast cancer survivors and their informal caregivers: a qualitative dyadic analysis of intervention preferences.
Article in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 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
backgroundCancer affects not only patients but also their informal caregivers. Dyadic interventions hold promise but are rarely integrated into clinical care, and few have been developed for Black women in particular. PURPOSE: We centered the voices of Black breast cancer survivors and female caregivers to understand their experiences with cancer and their preferences for psychosocial intervention.
methodsTwenty survivors and their female, nonpartner caregivers (10 dyads) participated in semistructured Zoom interviews. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed to examine themes related to psychosocial intervention preferences.
resultsFive themes emerged: (1) "Being able to have that combination would be awesome": Desiring an intervention that helps survivors and caregivers both separately and together, (2) "Whatever their preference is": Tradeoffs to teleconferencing vs in-person interventions, (3) "Therapy scares people sometimes": Pros and cons to terminology, (4) "I would just like to have more knowledge": Proposed intervention topics and characteristics, and (5) "Cancer's not a Black thing" vs "we really see things different": A range of opinions about a service/program for Black women in particular. One overarching theme involved taking a dyadic perspective on intervention by considering the needs and preferences of both members of a pair.
conclusionsParticipants expressed support for dyadic interventions, especially those that would address survivors and caregivers both as individuals and as a pair, and they described how caregivers in particular may have unmet needs for emotional support. Findings provide rich information about participants' preferences and highlight the value and challenges of taking a dyadic approach to intervention.
