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

Public health mitigation strategies for SARS-COV-2 are effective in limiting the spread of COVID-19; however, these restrictions can create gendered socioeconomic impacts and further isolate marginalized communities from essential resources. Our qualitative study aimed to understand the gendered effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on a population of women in Uganda with a history of prior obstetric fistula repair, a group experiencing greater vulnerability and less support due to intersecting stigmatized identities. We conducted in-depth interviews among 30 women with prior genital fistula and corrective fistula repair surgery at 3 hospitals in Southern Uganda. We found that COVID-19 lockdown measures caused both financial and health-related impacts in this community such as inaccessibility of healthcare and loss of income. Understanding these experiences should inform strategies to ensure equitable, future pandemic responses.
