Associations Between Patients' Unmet Social Needs and Self-Reported Health Confidence at One Primary Care Clinic.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Social determinants of health affect a person's health at least as much as their interactions with the healthcare system. Increased patient activation and self-efficacy are associated with decreased cost and improved quality. Patient-reported health confidence has been proposed as a more easily measured proxy for self-efficacy. Evaluation of the association between unmet social needs and health confidence is limited. Our objective was to identify and address our patients' unmet social needs and assess health confidence levels. From November 2017 through July 2018 we screened 2018 patients of an urban academic family medicine residency practice for unmet social needs, measured their health confidence, and made referrals to community resources if desired. Patients reporting the presence of any social need reported lower health confidence scores on average than those with no needs (8.49 vs 9.30, median 9 vs 10, Wilcoxon test
