Global Perspectives on Barriers to Oral Health Care Access for Afghan Refugee Women and Girls: A Scoping Review Protocol.
Article in Health science reports, 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: Afghanistan's recent shift in political landscape has intensified gender-based challenges. The restrictive gender norms and practices have profound implications for the well-being of Afghan women and girls. Among dental professionals, there is limited awareness about the trauma and barriers that impact a refugee's ability to access or commit to oral health care. Objectives: This scoping review protocol will explore and conceptualize the current knowledge surrounding barriers that refugee women from Afghanistan experience in accessing oral health care. Methods: Databases including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and CINAHL, supplemented by a manual search of reference lists and grey literature search to locate studies reporting on the barriers to accessing oral health care in refugee women and girls from Afghanistan. Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and complete full-text reviews, with data extraction confirmed by a third reviewer. Findings from our scoping review will be presented using a PRISMA-SCR diagram and thematic narrative synthesis. Expected Outcomes: The findings from this scoping review will highlight the current knowledge gap and inform an educational package for oral health therapy students in Australia, focused on overcoming barriers and providing culturally sensitive care for Afghan refugee women and girls.
