Can a Single General Self-Rated Health Question Mirror Social Determinant of Health?
Article in Iranian journal of public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Self-rated health (SRH) indicator is widely used and recommended in health research as a standard indicator for measuring health in different populations. This paper reports SRH of employees at Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), Tehran, Iran; and its related factors. Methods: We used the TUMS Employee's Cohort Study (TEC) data, collected from September 2017 to August 2019. SRH of 2158 employees were assessed using a single question. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to determine factors associated with sub-optimal SRH. Results: Overall, 14.9% (n = 321) of respondents rated their health as sub-optimal. Differences were observed with subgroups. Women, lower socioeconomic status (SES), experiences of more economic fluctuation conditions and lower reading scores could predict sub-optimal SRH variations in crude and adjusted regression analyses. The age, social capital, work experience and employment status could predict sub-optimal SRH variations only in crude regression analyses ( Conclusion: Differences in SRH report reflected differences in socioeconomic conditions. The biggest gap was observed between people of different SES (five times). Considering that SRH reflected socioeconomic characteristics of individuals, it may be considered as a quick, non-expensive, and simple way of identifying groups in need of addressing their social determinants of health.
