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
Achieving health equity for people with disabilities requires addressing the barriers that they face when accessing healthcare. Older adults with disabilities may experience compounded disparities, yet little research has explored their satisfaction with health facility personnel, including non-healthcare staff. This study examines differences in satisfaction with health facility personnel between younger (18-59 years) and older (60+) adults with disabilities in Chile. Data from the 2024 Disability and Citizenship (DISCA) survey were analysed using chi-square tests to examine differences between younger and older people with disabilities with regard to their satisfaction with health facility personnel. Ordered logistic regressions were employed to predict high satisfaction, given socioeconomic and health-related variables. Findings indicated that a higher percentage of older adults with disabilities reported high satisfaction with health facility personnel compared to younger adults. Ordered logistic regressions confirmed that older adults had greater odds of reporting high satisfaction with doctors (OR: 3.83), other health professionals (OR: 4.66), paramedical technicians (OR: 4.31), and administrative staff (OR: 3.13). These results suggest that age influences satisfaction levels among people with disabilities, potentially due to varying expectations, experiences, or interactions with health facility personnel. Understanding the underlying reasons for these age-related differences is essential to inform policies and practices that ensure equitable, person-centred care for people with disabilities across the life course.
