Disability inclusion in the Brazilian health system: results of a health system assessment.
Article in Global health action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPeople with disabilities face more barriers accessing healthcare and on average experience worse health outcomes. Strengthening health access for people with disabilities requires coordinated action across the health system. The Missing Billion Inclusive Health System Framework is a new tool to support policy makers to assess levels of disability inclusion within health systems.
objectivesThis study uses the Missing Billion framework in Brazil to i) contribute to the further testing and development of the framework and ii) assess the level of disability inclusion within the Unified Health System.
methodsInformation sources used to complete the assessment included Brazilian laws and policies, publicly available data, published literature, literature reviews and interviews with people with disabilities and service providers in São Paulo, Santos, Brasília and Arcoverde. A workshop with stakeholders was held to co-develop key recommendations.
resultsOverall, the Missing Billion framework was comprehensive and feasible to complete. It highlighted key strengths in terms of disability inclusion in the Brazilian health system as well as gaps and leverage points for action.
conclusionsThe Missing Billion framework can identify progress and opportunities to strengthen disability inclusion in health systems. In Brazil, key promotive factors include supportive policies, leadership and financing structures. There are also opportunities for strengthening data and evidence, healthcare worker training on disability and health service accessibility. Actions must be centered on and informed by people with disabilities.
