Barrier resolution via patient navigation in the context of cancer care.

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
purposePatient navigation programs have demonstrated intervention efficacy associated with barrier reduction and health outcome improvements in the context of cancer care. Greater characterization of barriers and barrier resolution likelihoods may support program optimization.
methodsA 3-month longitudinal, non-comparative community-focused (i.e., lay navigator) patient navigation program was implemented at an NCI-designed cancer center between 2018 and 2021. Barriers to cancer care were reported by patients (n = 207) at pre-intervention and re-assessed at post-intervention. Descriptive analyses examined patient-level associations among pre-intervention barriers and post-intervention rates of barrier resolution. Logistic regressions were conducted at the barrier level and patient level to estimate the likelihood of barrier resolution associated with Health Access, Financial, and Psychosocial barrier domains.
resultsParticipants reported an average of 3.54 distinct barriers to cancer care. Barriers associated with Health Access and Financial domains were most frequently endorsed. Post-navigation, barriers were found to differ in their resolution rates. At the barrier domain level, resolution rates differed significantly (X
conclusionIn this community-focused patient navigation program, barriers in the Financial domain proved to be the most difficult to resolve. The amenability of specific barriers to resolution via patient navigation can guide program tailoring and optimization.
