Non-Indigenous women's experiences of obstetric and gynaecological inequity in rural and remote South Australia: A feminist post-structuralist analysis.

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
backgroundWomen and people with uteruses ("women") living in rural and remote areas face inequitable access to obstetric and gynaecological (OB-GYN) health services.
objectivesThis research aimed to understand how women experience and navigate access to OB-GYN health care in rural and remote settings.
designA phenomenological design was utilised to examine women's lived experiences of OB-GYN services. To cultivate a critical feminist standpoint, the researchers then applied a feminist post-structuralist framework, which reflexively attends to the interplay of power, discourse, gender, and geography in lived experience.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 women living in rural and remote South Australia between September 2022 and January 2023. An iterative, open-coding, thematic analysis was chosen by researchers to synthesise the findings whilst retaining the richness of the data.
resultsFour themes were identified. First, access was difficult due to systemic power imbalances. Second, continuity of care was built upon intersubjectivity. Third, health literacy was key to informed consent, choice, and control. Last, shared knowledge translation redefined OB-GYN health services.
conclusionThe systematic othering of women and inequitable rural resourcing together produce health and power inequities for rural South Australians with uteruses, denying their experiences and bodily autonomy.
