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
purposeYoung adults with disability experience barriers to healthcare access and are at risk for not receiving needed services as they transition from pediatric to adult health systems. This study examined patterns of healthcare utilization for young adults with disability and potential barriers to receipt of care.
methodsData from the 2014 to 2018 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed to examine differences in service utilization, unmet need, care satisfaction, and financial worry between young adults (18-30 years) with and without disability (unweighted n = 15,710). Odds ratios were adjusted for individual, family, and interview characteristics.
resultsCompared to those without disability, young adults with disability were more likely to have had an emergency room visit in the past year (39.2% vs. 19.5%). They were also more likely to have a usual source of care when sick (82.2% vs. 75%). Among young adults who affirmed they had a usual place of care, those with disability were more likely to use the emergency room as their usual place of care (5.3% vs. 1.8%). A greater percentage of young adults with disability delayed medical care due to cost (19.1% vs. 8.9%) and reported an unmet medical need (21% vs. 10.2%).
conclusionsFindings highlight gaps in healthcare access for young adults with disability. Differences in healthcare utilization patterns for young adults with disability and factors that may negatively influence health outcomes for this population were found. Further research focused on the continuity of healthcare services in this age group through the healthcare transition period may provide additional insight into these discrepancies.
