[Primary health care for South-American indigenous peoples: an integrative review of the literatureAtención primaria en salud a indígenas de América del Sur: revisión integrativa de la bibliografía].
Review in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan American journal of public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
15 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 43 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectiveTo review the literature regarding the access to primary health care (PHC) by indigenous communities in South America, identifying the main access barriers.
methodIntegrative review of articles published from 2007 to 2017 in the LILACS, PubMed, and SciELO databases. The search terms "indigenous AND health AND Brazil" and "indigenous AND health NOT Brazil" were used in Portuguese and English. Articles published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, focusing strictly on PHC and on South-American indigenous populations were included.
resultsForty articles describing aspects of PHC for indigenous populations in eight countries - Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Ecuador - were included. The main barriers to accessing PHC were the difficulty of reaching the health care facilities closest to villages; difficulty in communicating with health care professionals; inadequate transportation to the health care units; lack of epidemiological data on indigenous villages; lack of information regarding local indigenous cultures; and fear of discrimination or humiliation on the part of indigenous patients.
conclusionsStudies regarding the health of indigenous populations in South America are scarce. It is evident that national health systems still need to advance towards an intercultural medicine that respects the social, cultural, and economic realities of all communities, with knowledge and consideration for different forms of care.
