"I'm in Hell …": Experiences of Unmet Health Care Needs Among People with Pre-Existing Disability and Long COVID.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The unmet health care needs of people with pre-existing disabilities who have long COVID are understudied. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people with disabilities experienced barriers to accessing care and supplies needed to prevent and treat COVID-19. Once they had contracted COVID-19, people with disabilities were more likely to develop long COVID compared with people without disabilities. Using the 2022 National Survey on Health and Disability, this study aimed to compare how unmet health care needs differ among people with pre-existing disabilities with and without long COVID. We examined bivariate associations between unmet health care needs and respondents' demographic characteristics and responses to open-ended survey questions. About 73% of respondents with long COVID reported unmet health care needs compared with 62.6% of respondents without long COVID. Four key themes emerge from open-ended responses: exacerbation of existing disability, navigating the health care system, gaslighting by health care providers, and financial burdens.
