1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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, environmental, and behavioural factors impact human health. Integrating these social determinants of health (SDOH) into electronic health records (EHR) may improve individual and population health. But how these data are collectedand their use in clinical settings remain unclear. We reviewed efforts to integrate SDOH into EHR in the U.S. and Canada, especially how this implementation serves Indigenous peoples. We followed an established scoping review process, performing iterative keyword searches in subject-appropriate databases, reviewing identified works' bibliographies, and soliciting recommendations from subject-matter experts. We reviewed 20 articles from an initial set of 2,459. Most discussed multiple SDOH indicator standards, with the National Academy of Medicine's (NAM) the most frequently cited (n = 10). Common SDOH domains were demographics, economics, education, environment, housing, psychosocial factors, and health behaviours. Twelve articles discussed project acceptability and feasibility; eight mentioned stakeholder engagement (none specifically discussed engaging ethnic or social minorities); and six adapted SDOH measures to local cultures . Linking SDOH data to EHR as related to Indigenous communities warrants further exploration, especially how to best align cultural strengths and community expectations with clinical priorities. Integrating SDOH data into EHR appears feasible and acceptable may improve patient care, patient-provider relationships, and health outcomes.
