Self-Identified Social Determinants of Health during Transitions of Care in the Medically Underserved: a Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of general internal medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMedically underserved or low socioeconomic status (SES) patients face significant vulnerability and a high risk of adverse events following hospital discharge. The environmental, social, and economic factors, otherwise known as social determinants, that compound this risk have been ineffectually described in this population. As the underserved comprise 30% of patients discharged from the hospital, improving transitional care and preventing readmission in this group has profound quality of care and financial implications.
methodEMBASE and MEDLINE searches were conducted to examine specific barriers to care transitions in underserved patients following an episode of acute care. Articles were reviewed for barriers and categorized within the context of five general themes.
resultsThis review yielded 17 peer-reviewed articles. Common factors affecting care transitions were cost of medications, access to care, housing instability, and transportation. When categorized within themes, social fragility and access failures, as well as therapeutic misalignment, disease behavior, and issues with accountability were noted. DISCUSSION: Providers and health systems caring for medically underserved patients may benefit through dedicating increased resources and broadening collaboration with community partners in order to expand health care access and enhance coordination of social services within this population. Future studies are needed to identify potential interventions targeting underserved patients to improve their post-hospital care.
