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.

Background: The greatest challenge for persons with disabilities is that of securing and maintaining employment, because of the limitations associated with being visually impaired.

Method: A qualitative research approach with an exploratory research design was employed. A non-probability sampling method using the snowball sampling technique was adopted. A semi-structured interview was conducted with a total of Results: The findings indicate that persons with visual impairment continue to face adverse challenges, especially in the quest of securing employment. Discrimination, isolation, rejection and lack of recognition are key issues that continue to persist in their life experiences, from the tertiary to post-tertiary level. Conclusion: Persons with visual impairment need continued support from various stakeholders as far as employment opportunities are concerned. There is a need to sensitise stakeholders, at all levels, on the challenges encountered by persons with visual impairment in their employment journey for effective inclusion and diversity management. Contribution: The findings can aid in the development of an all-round model of support and optimal functioning for persons with visual impairment from grassroots level to post-tertiary education and in workplaces.
