Transportation Barriers to Prenatal Care Among Black/African Americans: A Scoping Review.
Review in Public health challenges, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Reliable transportation is key to prenatal care (PNC) access and continuity. Disruptions in care due to transportation barriers may increase the risk of poor perinatal outcomes, especially among Black/African Americans. Objective: The objective of this review was to synthesize evidence on transportation barriers that Black/African Americans face and how this affects access and continued use of PNC. Methods: We conducted a literature search of articles published between 2012 and 2024 across six major databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCO, PsycINFO, and CINAHL Complete, to identify relevant studies from April 24 to June 3, 2024. Results: Out of 240 records retrieved, 9 studies were included in this review. The findings are aligned with three major themes related to transportation barriers: initiation of PNC, continuity of PNC, and utilization of PNC. Seven studies indicated that the lack of access to reliable transportation contributed to delayed initiation of PNC, missed or cancelled appointments, and the need to reschedule appointments. Two studies found either a weak or no association between transportation and poor PNC attendance and utilization. Conclusions: Given the substantial gaps in the existing literature, further research is essential to fully understand the impact of transportation barriers on PNC among Black/African American populations.
