Improving health outcomes for patients and families with preferred language other than English or French (PLOEF).
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 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
Equitable care considers the unique needs of an individual-including social determinants of health such as language, race, and gender. Health equity and providing equitable care are considered fundamental to medicine, however, in practice there continues to be significant gaps to providing equitable care. There is a growing body of research on health care disparities, such as research on patients and families who have a preferred language other than English or French (PLOEF), who have worse health outcomes. Language barriers have been associated with increased risk of hospital admission, increased risks of misdiagnosis, poorer patient understanding of and adherence to prescribed treatment, lower patient satisfaction, and increased risk of experiencing adverse events. This commentary aims to examine issues faced by patients and families with PLOEF, particularly among hospitalized children and youth, and propose how the paediatric community can work to improve their care and health outcomes.
