Perspectives of women of refugee background on healthcare needs in a major urban metropolitan community in the US: A qualitative needs assessment.
Article in Health & social care in the community, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The objective of this study was to describe the healthcare needs and experiences of women of refugee background in Chicago-home to one of the largest and most diverse refugee populations in the United States. We used a phenomenological study design with a desire-centered rather than damage-centered approach to conduct a series of focus group discussions with 24 women of refugee background in their native languages in Chicago, Illinois between December 2018 and February 2019. Convenience sampling was used to recruit women of refugee background at least 18 years of age living in the Chicago metropolitan area who attended educational women's health workshops at local refugee community centers. An inductive approach to the analysis was used to code transcripts and generate themes. Our study identified four major healthcare priorities for women of refugee background in a major metropolitan area: (1) central and centralised healthcare, (2) continuity of care, (3) trauma-informed care and (4) community engagement and partnerships. The healthcare priorities identified by the participants in this study should inform existing and future healthcare models and clinics providing care for women of refugee background in urban and sub-urban contexts across the United States.
