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

Introduction: Gender inequity among people with disabilities (PWD) is a complex issue influenced by a combination of socioeconomic, cultural, political, and institutional factors. Women with disabilities often experience double discrimination, increasing their vulnerability. These exacerbate their already difficult health and living conditions. This study aimed to explore the factors associated with gender inequities among PWD in Benin and Côte d'Ivoire, and to design and implement tailored interventions to address these inequities. Method: This intervention-oriented operational research, employing a mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative), targeted 841 PWD and 90 community members. Initially, records from various centers managing Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in the study areas were reviewed. All PWD listed in the registers and residing in the community, as well as other community members, were included. Data on socio-demographic and socioeconomic and clinical factors were collected using an interview guide and an observation grid. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 (alpha = 5%), while qualitative data were processed through triangulation, categorized, cross-tabulated, and synthesized by theme, hypothesis, and indicator. A subset of PWD facing barriers to accessing education, training, income-generating activities, or healthcare was selected for intervention. Results: The median age was 38 years (IQR = 22-52). Among the 841 PWD, 497 were men and 344 were women (sex ratio = 1.45). Univariate analysis revealed significant associations ( Conclusion: This study provides a deeper understanding of the inequalities that PWDs face in Benin and Côte d'Ivoire. It highlights the need to adopt intersectional approaches in policies and practices to effectively address the multiple forms of discrimination faced by women and girls with disabilities, promoting their inclusion and protection in all areas of society.
