Association Between Trust in Health Care Professionals and Health Care Access: Insights From an Online Survey Across 21 Countries.
Article in International journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objectives: This study evaluates the association between trust in health care professionals and health care delays across 21 countries. Methods: We apply logistic regression models to survey data of over 621,000 individuals collected in Spring 2023. Results: Results show 44.5% of respondents with medical conditions experienced delays in accessing health care and 44.1% reported lack of trust in health care professionals. Those who trusted health care professionals had significantly lower odds of delaying medical care. Trust was most strongly associated with delays in the United Kingdom (OR = 0.373, 95% CI = 0.273-0.510), while South Africa had the smallest association (OR = 0.762, 95% CI = 0.582-0.997). Conclusion: Trust is important in influencing health care-seeking behaviors, though the causal direction warrants further research. There is a need for targeted strategies to build and sustain trust in health care relationships as well as enhancing health care access.
