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

purposeRacism and ableism have impacts at individual and organizational levels and can produce and reproduce inequities and injustices in diverse contexts. However, their intersection remains largely unexamined in the provision of employment supports. The objective of this qualitative study is to identify barriers and facilitators within employment supports to seek strategies to improve the employment outcomes of racialized disabled job seekers and workers and address gaps faced by service providers and employers.

methodsThis study used interpretive description (Thorne S. Interpretive description: Qualitative research for applied practice; 2016.). Four racialized disabled job seekers and workers, two employers and four service providers from Canada participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke in Qual Res Psychol 3:77-101, 2006) was used to analyze the data.

findingsFive core themes were identified: (1) managing intersectional confusion; (2) employer education; (3) contextual barriers; (4) client-service provider relationships; and (5) urgency for solutions.

conclusionThis study provides grounding evidence about common concerns and barriers within existing employment support systems and can assist policymakers and service providers to better understand the complex and nuanced lived experiences of racialized disabled job seekers and workers.
