How Do Social Needs Cluster Among Low-Income Individuals?
Article in Population health management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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 needs screening in health care settings reveals that many low-income individuals have multiple unmet social needs at the same time. Having multiple simultaneous social needs greatly increases the odds of experiencing adverse health outcomes. To better understand how and which social needs cluster in these cases, the authors examined data from 14,749 low-income adults who completed a social needs assessment in one of 4 separate studies conducted between 2008 and 2019 in the United States. Participants were Medicaid beneficiaries, helpline callers, and daily smokers. Findings were strikingly consistent across the 4 studies. Participants with ≥2 social needs (n = 5621; 38% of total) experienced more stress, depressive symptoms, sleep problems, and chronic diseases and were more likely to rate their health as fair or poor. Social needs reflecting financial strain were highly correlated, such as needing help paying utility bills and needing money for necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing (
