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

aimThe aim of this study was to create a tool capable of measuring parents' experiences of discrimination when obtaining healthcare for their children, capturing their parental identities and perceptions of discrimination in the healthcare setting.

backgroundDiscrimination experiences, including racial, ethnic, and healthcare discrimination, have negative health effects across the lifespan. Parents have an essential role in pediatric healthcare, which is distinct from the role of other caregivers in pediatric and non-pediatric healthcare settings. Though measures of discrimination in healthcare settings exist, few psychometrically valid tools evaluating parents' experiences of healthcare discrimination are readily available.

methodsA measure of parental racial/ethnic discrimination in healthcare was developed. Items were generated with theoretical and empirical literature followed by expert panel review. Items were tested among a population of US-based adult parents via online survey using exploratory factor analysis. Reliability, construct, and criterion validity were assessed.

findingsItem generation resulted in an acceptable pool of test items based on relevance and clarity (mean CVI = 0.94 and 0.70, respectively). Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a two-factor solution, one of which was related to discrimination experiences and demonstrated reliability (
