Access to the healthcare system: Experiences and perspectives of Pakistani immigrant mothers in New Zealand.
Article in Journal of migration and health, 2022. 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
Worldwide, there is limited literature on Pakistani immigrants' challenges and experiences accessing healthcare services for their children and themselves. In this article, we present a case study of Pakistani immigrant mothers in New Zealand to explore their experiences and perspectives on navigating the healthcare system of a new country. Data was collected from 23 mothers in Wellington through in-depth semi-structured interviews, which each lasted 60 to 80 min. Participants had been living in New Zealand for an average of 3.25 years and were mostly highly educated. They talked about their prior knowledge and experiences regarding the New Zealand healthcare system. Lack of knowledge, different expectations, and experiences of healthcare services inhibited their utilization of healthcare. Most mothers treated their children at home before visiting a general practitioner (GP) due to previous perceived unsatisfactory experiences, such as lack of availability of GP appointments for the same or next day, or long waiting times at emergency departments and after hours medical facilities. Immigrant mothers need to feel they are getting the right services at the right time to ensure and promote better health outcomes. Identifying the barriers and promoting information about the healthcare system can play an essential role in the appropriate use of health services by immigrant mothers.
