Identifying reproductive-aged women with physical and sensory disabilities in administrative health data: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Disability and health journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
backgroundWomen with disabilities experience significant health disparities. A barrier to progress in addressing these disparities is the lack of population-based data on their health outcomes, which are needed to plan health care delivery systems. Administrative health data are increasingly being used to measure the health of entire populations, but these data may only capture impairment and not activity and participation restrictions.
objectiveWe conducted a systematic review to identify and appraise existing literature on the development and validation of algorithms to identify reproductive-aged women with physical and sensory disabilities in administrative health data.
methodsWe searched Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus from inception to April 2019 for studies of the development and/or validation of algorithms using diagnostic, procedural, or prescription codes to identify physical and sensory disabilities in administrative health data. Study and algorithm characteristics were extracted and quality was assessed using standardized instruments.
resultsOf 14,073 articles initially identified, we reviewed 6 articles representing 2 unique algorithms. One algorithm aimed to correlate diagnoses, procedure codes, and prescriptions with ability to access routine care as an indicator of functional limitation. The other algorithm used diagnostic and procedure codes to identify use of mobility-assistive devices to measure functional limitation. Only one algorithm was validated against self-reported disability.
conclusionsOur findings underscore the need to strengthen current methods to identify disability in administrative health data, including linkage with other sources of information on functional limitations, so that population-based data can be used to optimize health care for women with disabilities.
