Disparities in Obstetric and Anaesthetic Care Between Migrant and Native Populations in High-Income Countries: A Narrative Review.
Review in Acta medica academica, 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
objectiveThis narrative review aimed to investigate the potential differences in antenatal care provision, perinatal outcomes, and administration of obstetric neuraxial analgesia between migrant women and their native counterparts in high-income countries.
methodsBetween March and July 2024, we searched four electronic databases through Ovid and PubMed: Medline, Embase, Global Health, and Maternity and Infant Care. The search terms used included "migrant", "refugee", "asylum seeker", "perinatal", "antenatal", "pregnancy", "neonate", "obstetric anaesthesia", "neuraxial analgesia", and "outcome". We included peer-reviewed articles published in English that presented data on the provision of antenatal and perinatal care, as well as the administration of obstetric neuraxial analgesia to refugee mothers who migrated to high-income countries.
resultsAmong the 795 screened records, 41 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of these, ten focused on obstetric neuraxial analgesia administration, while the remaining studies highlighted the differences in antenatal care and perinatal outcomes.
conclusionAccess to antenatal care, utilisation of neuraxial analgesia, and perinatal and neonatal outcomes for migrant women differ from those of their native counterparts, reflecting the significant challenges encountered during the perinatal period.
