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

Aboriginal people have poor health status, but there is also evidence that they access the health care system less effectively and find it more intimidating than other Canadians. The present paper reviews the evidence for this, details some of the history that has led to the continued disenfranchisement of Aboriginal people and makes some modest suggestions for ways that the health system can work toward better health and health care for Aboriginal people. Efforts should focus on making the entire system more patient-centred, improving cultural competence, increasing Aboriginal presence in the health workforce, and improving access through cultural and language interpreter services and outreach.
