Breaking barriers: addressing systemic inequities in chronic disease care for displaced populations.

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
backgroundInternally displaced persons (IDPs) in conflict-affected populations are disproportionately affected by non-communicable diseases (NCDs), while system-level barriers to healthcare access are under-researched. This mixed-methods research investigates the interplay between structural, socioeconomic, and NCD-related barriers to accessing care by IDPs with NCDs in Nigeria, identifying disparities in access.
methodsWe carried out a cross-sectional study (March-August 2024) among three IDP camps in Benue State, Nigeria, recruiting 345 adults (≥ 18 years) with hypertension, diabetes, asthma, or cancer. Quantitative surveys measured barriers (distance, cost, insecurity) using validated instruments, while qualitative interviews (n = 25 IDPs, 10 providers) investigated lived experiences. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models predicted access delays, supported by thematic analysis of qualitative data.
resultsStructural barriers revealed that distance (> 5 km) doubled the access difficulties when combined with insecurity (OR = 3.17, 95% CI: 2.22-4.53, p < 0.001), while cost barriers were most significant for cancer (OR = 3.12, CI: 1.62-6.00) and diabetes (OR = 2.33, CI: 1.40-3.88). Demographic inequalities showed that low education raised odds of access barriers by 49% (p = 0.002); women had 24% lower odds than men (p = 0.049). Disease-specific delays demonstrates a median treatment delays of 14 days (hypertension), 21 days (diabetes), and 42 days (cancer). Qualitative themes showed that IDPs valued food more than care, viewed clinics as insecure, and believed NCDs were ignored in humanitarian response.
conclusionsIDPs with NCDs encounter worsening, discriminatory barriers based on structural and socioeconomic inequities. Policy actions need to incorporate decentralized NCD care, financial protection, and security-assured transportation. Disease-specific programming and health literacy interventions are essential to curb disparities in prolonged displacement.
