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

Context: Social exclusion is characterised by and represents a form of disadvantage and marginalisation of vulnerable groups of people in society, who cannot fully participate in the normal activities of daily living. People who are socially excluded such as asylum seekers and refugees have complex healthcare needs and tend to present more to the acute hospital setting as emergency presentations. Little is known about barriers and facilitators experienced by this group to accessing nonhospital based care. Objectives: This mixed methods systematic review, will critically examine the concept of barriers and facilitators for refugees and asylum seekers to accessing non hospital based care. Methods: This methodological review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for conducting mixed methods reviews. The following databases will be searched: Central Medline, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library. Relevant grey literature will be included. Title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening will be undertaken independently by two reviewers. The Joanna Briggs Institute extraction tool will be adapted for data extraction. Discussion: This mixed method review will comprehensively evaluate quantitative and qualitative data, synthesise both barriers and facilitators and follow a systematic approach through establishing use of mixed methods research across asylum seekers and refugees, and how they affect accessing non-hospital based care. It will explore conceptual models of access to healthcare and how they influence these factors.
