Equity and social justice perspectives on disability inclusion in healthcare services in Nigeria.
Review in Communications medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This Perspective explores equity and social justice perspectives on disability inclusion in Nigerian health care services. We note the physical, economic, and cultural barriers that limit persons with disabilities (PWDs) access. While national laws such as the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act (2018) and international guidelines such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD,2006) are available, access to health care among PWDs remains low in Nigeria. We contrast equity and equality in health care, advocating for policies favoring marginalized populations, and apply social justice theory to argue for equitable health care in Nigeria. We examine successful equity-based models of health care in other low- and middle-income countries and make recommendations, including stronger policy enforcement, disability-awareness training for health workers, and more community-based interventions. This Perspective stresses the need for more empirical research to guide policymaking and support disability-inclusive health care in Nigeria. Achieving a firmly inclusive healthcare system in Nigeria necessitates both structural change and interventions that promote social justice.
