Structural Inequalities in Ambulatory Care: A Scoping Review of Access and Quality and the Neglected Dimension of Patient Safety.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
(1) Background: Ambulatory services are the main interface between populations and health systems, yet their benefits are unevenly distributed due to structural inequalities-systemic differences rooted in the social, economic, and political organisation of society. Inequities in access and quality are well documented, but patient safety remains the least examined. (2) Methods: Following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus were searched for studies published from 2010 to 2026. In total, 44 studies were included, predominantly from the USA (
