Migrant women's experience of antenatal care in an urban and rural setting in north and North-West Thailand: A cross sectional survey.
Article in Journal of migration and health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Nearly 50 % of women in low- and middle-income countries fail to obtain adequate antenatal care due to barriers in reaching the health facility. A key element of the quality of care is women's perception of treatment they receive. This study aims to compare the perspectives of urban and rural migrant women from Myanmar in Thailand and the obstacles they face when trying to access care. Methods: From October-2023 to May-2024, a survey was conducted among migrant women, 74 at Sarapee hospital in Chang Mai Province, and 148 at the clinics of Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU), Tak Province. Questions based on REPRO-Q were used for scoring satisfaction in several domains using a Likert scale ranging from dissatisfied to satisfied. Results: The majority of women in Sarapee and SMRU reported pleasant visits, 86.5 % (64/74), 99.3 % (144/145) respectively. Disrespectful behaviour against migrant women was low and mentioned by 14.9 % (11/74) in Sarapee and 1.4 % (2/148) at SMRU. The women attending care at Sarapee reported significantly lower satisfaction 60.8 % (45/74) on being able to refuse examination or treatment compared to women attending care in SMRU 83.0 % (122/147) P < 0.001. Conclusion: Both urban and rural settings had high rates of perceived pleasant visits and recommending the service to friends, although this could result from hesitancy to give negative feedback. At this critical stage of the life course both institutions can improve, to eliminate experiences of perceived disrespectful behavior.
