Systematic Review: Impact of Social Determinants of Health on the Management and Prognosis of Gallstone Disease.
Review in Health equity, 2022. 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
Background: Due to its prevalence, gallstone disease is a major public health issue. It affects diverse patient populations across various socioeconomic levels. Socioeconomic and geographic deprivation may impact both morbidity and mortality associated with digestive diseases, such as biliary tract disease. Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to review the available data on the impact of socioeconomic determinants and geographic factors on gallstone disease and its complications. Methods: This systematic review was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The MEDLINE and Web of Science databases were searched by two investigators to retrieve studies about the impact of income, insurance status, hospital status, education level, living areas, and deprivation indices on gallstone disease. Thirty-seven studies were selected for this review. Results: Socially disadvantaged populations appear to be more frequently affected by complicated or severe forms of gallstone disease. The prognosis of biliary tract disease is poor in these populations regardless of patient status, and increased morbidity and mortality were observed for acute cholangitis or subsequent cholecystectomy. Limited or delayed access and low-quality therapeutic interventions could be among the potential causes for this poor prognosis. Conclusions: This systematic review suggests that socioeconomic determinants impact the management of gallstone disease. Enhanced knowledge of these parameters could contribute to improved public health policies to manage these diseases.
