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

backgroundClinicians can help address the discrimination that children and youth with disabilities often encounter. However, they commonly report lacking training and experience in addressing multiple forms of discrimination, such as ableism and racism. A lack of knowledge could lead to stigma and inequities within healthcare. This study explores clinicians' suggestions for addressing multiple forms of discrimination among children and youth with disabilities.

methodsThis qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of 15 paediatric rehabilitation clinicians and community service providers working with disabled youth who have multiple minoritized identities. We applied an inductive thematic analysis to the interview transcripts.

resultsOur findings highlighted the following four themes: (1) disability awareness and anti-ableism training and education; (2) enhancing inclusive programming, services and policies; (3) building connections to supports and resources; and (4) advocacy and incorporating lived experience perspectives.

conclusionThe results underscore the need for clinicians to engage in more training and to facilitate access to resources for multiply minoritized youth with disabilities. Dedicated funding, resources and commitment at organizational, systems and policy levels are needed to address discrimination.
