1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Barriers to ideal equitable patient experience typically involve some level of prejudice. In the past 15 years, global migration rates have steadily risen, creating a trail of unfamiliarity that can motivate ignorance (and, in graver instances, hatred). Our focus in this perspective is on anti-Muslim racism, which has spilled into the world of medicine, harming Muslim women in particular, especially those who wear the hijab-the Muslim headscarf. In this paper, we examine many of the prejudices surrounding the hijab that arise in areas where the Muslim faith is not well understood, particularly through ignorance, indifference, and the epidemic of Islamophobia. In doing so, we argue that the violation of the dignity of women who wear hijab may occur more often than is realized by practicing clinicians, leading to our recommendation of increased education about cultural humility. Our dignity-based claims in support of our call for greater cultural humility are rooted in an understanding of that concept, which prohibits humiliating
