Social Determinant of Health Documentation Trends and Their Association with Emergency Department Admissions.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Research has shown that health outcomes are significantly driven by patient's social and economic needs and environment, commonly referred to as the social determinants of health (SDoH). Standardized documentation of social and economic needs in healthcare are underutilized. This study examines the prevalence of documented social and economic needs (Z-codes) in a nationwide inpatient database and the association with emergency department (ED) admissions. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the effect of social and economic Z-codes on hospital admission through the ED. Payer source, gender, age at admission, comorbidity count, and median ZIP code income quartile covariates were included in the logistic regression analyses. Patients with documented social and economic Z-codes were significantly more likely to be admitted through the ED than those without documented social and economic needs, after adjusting for covariates. Standardized and widespread collection of these valuable Z-codes within EHR systems or administrative claims databases can help with targeted resource allocation to alleviate possible barriers to care and mitigate ED utilization.
