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

purposeThe use of surveillance mammography following a breast cancer (BC) diagnosis is associated with early detection of disease relapse and increased overall survival; yet Black women compared to White women have the lowest surveillance mammography rates, with limited explanation. To further understand this racial disparity the present study examines the association of mammography beliefs, knowledge, and healthcare delivery factors on receipt of surveillance mammography among Black and White breast cancer survivors.

methodsThis is a convergent parallel mixed method study design of an online survey and online focus groups among Black and White BC survivors (N = 266) recruited from community engagement. The online focus groups consisted of a series of theory-informed questions via social media platforms (eg Breastcancer.org, Quora, Reddit). An in-depth thematic analysis approach was used to extract themes from online focus group data. Bivariate (χ

results76% (n = 177) of women were Black, 62% were <5 years since diagnosis, 98% had health insurance, with an age range from 23 to 79 (mean = 55) years. 72% of the sample received a surveillance mammogram relative to 27%. Women more frequently received a surveillance mammogram if they reported perceived mammography benefits (<.001), underwent lumpectomy (P< .001) and had health insurance (P = .04). Black women without communication about surveillance care with providers had a lower likelihood of receiving a surveillance mammogram (OR:0.09,95% CI: 0.01-0.45, P = .003). Thematic findings from online focus groups included motivators for receipt of surveillance mammograms: physician recommendation, regular physical exams, and knowledge of recommended guidelines. Barriers of non-receipt of surveillance mammograms included: transportation, medical cost/financial barriers, feeling ignored from providers, and medical mistrust.

conclusionWomen may require more individualized information regarding their surveillance care to support routine guideline concordant follow-up. Patient-provider-communication is an integral part of Black survivors' surveillance care needs. Improving patient-provider communication for Black women's is necessary to address this group cancer care needs.
