Disability justice and collective access to labour and delivery care: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPeople with disabilities experience perinatal health disparities. This qualitative study examines disabled people's experiences of labour and delivery care from a disability justice lens.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted between July 2019 and February 2020 with 31 women and transgender people aged 18-45 years with physical, sensory, and/or intellectual/developmental disabilities, who were living in in Ontario, Canada and had given birth in the previous five years.
resultsPeople with disabilities described negative experiences of provider-driven, disrespectful, and discriminatory labour and delivery care that can be interpreted as examples of disability injustice and obstetric ableism. People with disabilities also described positive experiences of collaborative, respectful, and disability-affirming labour and delivery care that can be interpreted as examples of disability justice, facilitated by what feminist disability justice scholars and activists call collective access.
conclusionsCollective access to labour and delivery care can improve perinatal health care for people with disabilities and promote disability justice. Reimagining care-related decision-making as an interdependent, collaborative, respectful, and disability-affirming process shared between patients and providers can help to facilitate collective access to labour and delivery care.
