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

BackgroundIn response to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Government of Canada welcomed thousands of temporary migrants under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program. Ukrainian temporary migrants who are settled in Ontario experience acute, chronic, and complex health issues, creating additional demand upon the healthcare system. Despite a collective awareness of difficulty in accessing existing healthcare resources, little is known about how Ukrainian temporary migrants experience and utilise the Ontario healthcare system.PurposeTo explore the lived experiences of Ukrainian temporary migrants navigating the Ontario healthcare system, and to report on the results of a knowledge translation (KTr) workshop intervention delivered with this population to assist in the development of knowledge and skills related to healthcare system navigation.MethodsA KTr workshop was delivered with ten Ukrainian temporary migrants who have temporarily settled in Toronto, Canada. Inductive and deductive thematic analysis was used.ResultsFour themes emerged: 1) concerns regarding accessibility and wait times; 2) difficulties navigating the healthcare system; 3) transnational health practices; and 4) a desire for increased involvement in the care plan.ConclusionsThis project highlights barriers to services and the need for healthcare providers to explore equitable and accessible solutions to support temporary migrants.
