Impact of Social Determinants of Health in Spine Surgery.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purpose of reviewSocial determinants of health (SDH) are factors that affect patient health outcomes outside the hospital. SDH are "conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks." Current literature has shown SDH affecting patient reported outcomes in various specialties; however, there is a dearth in research relating spine surgery with SDH. The aim of this review article is to identify connections between SDH and post-operative outcomes in spine surgery. These are important, yet understudied predictors that can impact health outcomes and affect health equity. RECENT
findingsFew studies have shown associations between SDH pillars (environment, race, healthcare, economic, and education) and spine surgery outcomes. The most notable relationships demonstrate increased disability, return to work time, and pain with lower income, education, environmental locations, healthcare status and/or provider. Despite these findings, there remains a significant lack of understanding between SDH and spine surgery. Our manuscript reviews the available literature comparing SDH with various spine conditions and surgeries. We organized our findings into the following narrative themes: 1) education, 2) geography, 3) race, 4) healthcare access, and 5) economics.
