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

introductionQuality of life (QoL) of endocrine surgery patients is an important patient outcome but the role of social determinants of health (SDH) on preoperative QoL is understudied.

methodsThis study used preoperative data of 233 endocrine surgery patients participating in a longitudinal QoL study to examine the influence of SDH (patient-level and environmental) on preoperative QoL. Patient-level SDH was assessed with structured survey questions and environmental SDH with the Social Vulnerability Index. Multiple domains of QoL were assessed with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29).

resultsThe average age of the sample was 52.9 y and 76.8% were female, 10% were Hispanic, 55.8% were White, 32.6% were Black, 6.9% were Other, and 4.7% were Asian. Patients with patient-level SDH were more likely to have worse preoperative QoL in multiple PROMIS domains. Patients who lived in the most socially vulnerable areas had the same or better QoL scores in the PROMIS-29 domains than those living in less vulnerable areas. Minority race patients were more likely to have patient-level SDH and to live in the most vulnerable areas.

conclusionsThis study is the first to our knowledge to examine the role of patient-level and environmental SDH on preoperative QoL among endocrine surgery patients. The results identified specific patient-level factors that could be used as the basis for interventions aimed to improve patients' QoL. Future studies that evaluate the role of preoperative SDH on long-term QoL and clinical outcomes would further enhance our understanding of the impact of SDH on patient wellbeing.
