[Knowledge, access and use of the health system by migrant adolescents in Chile: results of an exploratory study].
Article in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan American journal of public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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 the knowledge, access, and use of the health system by migrant adolescents, and the barriers to access and use of the health system in that population in Chile.
methodsObservational, cross-sectional exploratory study applied in a participatory workshop with migrant adolescents (N=30) in three municipalities of the city of Santiago, Chile. Multimethods study. A baseline survey on the migration process and experiences in the health system was applied, with descriptive data analysis. From the qualitative point of view, discussion groups (n=5) and participatory workshops (n=2) were carried out with migrant adolescents.
resultsSixty percent of the adolescents said they did not know if they were registered in the health system, and half of them had not used it. Time of residence was identified as a relevant factor for the effective use of some health benefits. Administrative barriers to access the health system were recognized, such as immigration status, perception of obligatory adult companionship, and experiences of discrimination in care. Specific needs were identified in sexual and reproductive health, such as access to condoms, and mental health care from specialists. As facilitators of access and use, experiences of proper treatment and the presence of the health sector in schools were highlighted.
conclusionsLack of information about the health system and various barriers to access and use by migrant adolescents were identified. Based on the results, general recommendations are proposed for the country and the region to improve the health of migrant adolescents.
