Perceived Discriminatory Factors that Impact Prenatal Care Satisfaction and Attendance Among Adolescent and Young Adult Couples.
Article in Journal of pediatric and adolescent gynecology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo identify possible discriminatory factors that lead to prenatal care dissatisfaction and disengagement from prenatal care among young, expecting couples with a focus on exploring the experiences of Black and Latinx participants.
methodsA total of 296 young adolescent couples were recruited. Each couple consisted of an expecting female (ExpF) and an expecting male (ExpM). Participants were asked to give responses to a survey, and data was collected at 3 different time points.
participantsThe sample consisted of 296 expecting young couples.
settingParticipants were recruited from obstetrics and gynecology clinics and ultrasound clinics from 4 university-affiliated hospitals in southern Connecticut. OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measure was prenatal care satisfaction. The secondary outcome was number of prenatal care visits that were attended by each member of the couple dyad. Both of these outcomes were assessed to evaluate whether discriminatory factors that participants experienced in healthcare had an effect on each outcome.
resultsA total of 51 males (17.5%) and 36 females (12.4%) reported a perception of experiencing discrimination in the healthcare system a few times a year or more. Those who believed that race contributed to discrimination in the healthcare system were 2.45 times more likely to have an unpleasant prenatal visit (P = .018). Those who believed that age contributed to discrimination in the healthcare system were 2.74 times more likely to have an unpleasant prenatal visit (P = .001). Participants who believed that physical appearance contributed to discrimination in the healthcare system were 2.83 times more likely to have an unpleasant prenatal visit (P = .01).
conclusionBlack and Latinx young expecting couples are not exempt from discriminatory experiences during prenatal care. Recommendations for quality improvement in prenatal healthcare settings include implementation of standard evaluative measures specific to personal treatment and supportiveness of the medical team.
