Palliative care research utilising intersectionality: a scoping review.
Article in BMC palliative care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundAccess to palliative care is recognised as a human right, yet clear disparities exist. There have been recent appeals to examine people's contexts and interactions with social systems which for many, adversely influence their utilisation of palliative care. Intersectionality provides a way to understand these drivers of inequity and ultimately advocate for change.
aimTo identify and describe published studies utilising intersectionality in relation to need, access and experience of palliative care.
designA scoping review. DATA SOURCES: Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Google Scholar databases and a manual search were undertaken for studies published up to January 2023. Included studies were evidence based articles where palliative or end of life care was the focus and intersectionality was identified and/or applied to the research that was undertaken.
resultsTen published studies were included. An analytic framework was developed to identify the extent that intersectionality was utilised in each study. A wide range of different groups were researched across the studies, with most focusing on aspects of their participant's identity in relation to palliative care access and experience. Common topics of power, heterogeneity of people within the health system and barriers to palliative care were illuminated across the studies.
conclusionsVery limited research to date has utilised intersectionality to understand access, utilisation and experience of palliative care. This scoping review demonstrates intersectionality can provide a way to illuminate rich understandings of inequity in palliative care. It is imperative that future palliative research incorporates an intersectionality focus to further clarify the needs and experiences of structurally marginalised groups.
