Article in African journal of disability, 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
Background: Despite the existence of South African frameworks guiding the inclusion and accessibility of persons with disabilities in the workplace, there is no tool available to guide how healthcare facilities meet the inclusion and accessibility standards set out in the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and national frameworks. Objectives: This study sought to achieve consensus among experts regarding the tool that can be utilised to guide the implementation of the CRPD-aligned standards of universal design and reasonable accommodation in the public healthcare sector. Method: A panel of experts (27) in the field of disability across South Africa participated in a two-round modified Delphi technique. The 80% agreement threshold was set to determine the level of agreement among experts. Results: Consensus was reached on all seven domains (with various disability indicators) as outlined by the CRPD to be included in the development of a tool. These domains are, namely, the prohibition of discrimination, protecting and promoting the rights of persons with disabilities, labour and trade union participation, access to technical and vocational training, employment opportunities and career advancement, reasonable accommodation and professional and vocational rehabilitation training programmes for persons with disabilities. Conclusion: The panellists agreed that the developed tool can be utilised to evaluate and guide the implementation of universal design and reasonable accommodation in the public healthcare sector. Contribution: This study provides a consensus-based, CRPD-aligned assessment tool that enables healthcare facilities to systematically evaluate and improve disability inclusion and accessibility in the workplace.
