What factors influence refugees' attendance to dental care services?
Article in Evidence-based dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
data sourcesFour electronic databases: MEDLINE (via Ovid), Embase (via Ovid), Web of Science, and American Psychology Association PsycINFO. STUDY SELECTION: Quantitative observational or interventional studies, published until the end of February 2022 with no restrictions to date, language, or region of publication. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Screening performed by one author and a second author independently reviewed a random sample of 10% of the articles. Disagreements were resolved in consultation with a third author.
resultsThe results were presented as a narrative review due to large heterogeneity of data. Nine studies met the eligibility criteria and most of them were rated as fair quality. The main factors influencing refugees access to dental care services were demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and English language proficiency.
conclusionsThe review suggests that individual-level factors may have a predisposing effect on refugees' access, but had limited evidence on other enabling and contextual factors.
