Health systems and quality of healthcare: bringing back missing discussions about gender and sexuality.
Article in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Gender and sexuality are recognised as social determinants of health. While gender and sexuality are becoming important frameworks guiding many disciplines and studies, discussions about quality of healthcare (QHC) lack a sufficient focus on these. When QHC studies have considered gender and sexuality the primary focus tends to be on the practice of individual professionals, patients' differential health seeking behaviours or outcomes. This commentary eapplies a gender and sexuality lens to Donabedian's framework to further understand the influence of gender and sexuality in shaping QHC. The framework illustrates how the very foundations of QHC (institutional structures, processes and outcomes), can increase or reduce inequalities in QHC linked to gender, sexuality (as well as other factors). The commentary suggests practices that would reduce these inequalities. In the context of present debates over inequality in medicine, science and global health , this commentary is a reminder that health systems have a critical role to play in ensuring that QHC does not perpetuate them. .
