Experiences of health care services among people with cognitive disabilities and mental health conditions.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPeople with cognitive disabilities such as intellectual and developmental disabilities face significant barriers to accessing high-quality health care services. Barriers may be exacerbated for those with co-occurring mental health conditions.
objectiveThis study compares patient experiences of health care services between adults with and without cognitive disabilities and, among people with a cognitive disability, those with and without co-occurring mental health conditions.
methodsCross-sectional analyses were conducted using 2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data, a national U.S. survey, to examine differences in Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems measures.
resultsAdults with cognitive disabilities reported lower satisfaction with health care services compared to the general population (7.62 (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.41-7.83) vs. 8.33 (95% CI: 8.29-8.38) on scale from 0 to 10). Adults with cognitive disabilities were less likely to report that providers listened carefully to them (odds ratio (OR): 0.55, 95% CI: 0.42-0.71), explained things in a way that was easy to understand (OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.35-0.66), showed respect for what they had to say (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.29-0.51), spent enough time with them (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.40-0.69), or gave advice that was easy to understand (OR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.28-0.58) compared to the general population. Among adults with cognitive disabilities, there were no differences based on co-occurring mental health conditions.
conclusionsAdults with cognitive disabilities report lower satisfaction with health care services driven by worse experiences with the health care system. Policies to increase provider capacity to support this population should be prioritized.
