1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionAccess to optimum health care services is vital for every woman. Women with disabilities (WWD), in particular, face multiple discrimination and social exclusion on this issue. The objective of the study was to evaluate the user-friendliness of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in terms of the physical access to health facilities in various hospitals in a city in north India.

methodsThis cross-sectional evaluation study was conducted during 2013-2017 in five purposively selected major government hospitals in a city in north India. A disabled friendliness evaluation tool was used to analyze the barriers to physical access in terms of approach to SRH care facilities. Data analysis was done through Microsoft Excel (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA) and content analysis.  Results: Overall, 270 respondents aged 15 years and above with at least 40% disability were interviewed for the study. Lack of access to SRH care in hospitals (infrastructure/equipment/communication/transport) was the main barrier (46.36%) reported by WWD. Most of the hospitals lacked any special provisions for people with disability (PWD). Proper ramps, stairs, toilets, etc. were not present in hospitals as denoted by their verbatim responses.

conclusionsAll the hospitals scored low on access to sexual and reproductive health services for WWD.
