Adaptation of Screening Tools for Social Determinants of Health in Pregnancy: A Pilot Project.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesSocial determinants of health (SDOH) and stress during pregnancy may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes. The objective of this in the field pilot project was to develop a comprehensive screening tool by combining existing validated screeners. Additionally, implement use of this tool within routine prenatal visits and assess feasibility.
methodsPregnant patients accessing prenatal care at a single site of an urban Federally Qualified Health Center were recruited during prenatal visits to complete a Social Determinants of Health in Pregnancy Tool (SIPT). SIPT combines a series of questions from existing and well-validated tools and consists of five domains: (1) perceived stress, (2) relationship and family stress, (3) domestic violence, (4) substance abuse, and (5) financial stress.
resultsBetween April 2018 and March 2019, 135 pregnant participants completed SIPT. Ninety-one percent of patients scored positive on at least one screener, 54% to three or more screeners.
conclusionsDespite guidelines to screen for SDOH during pregnancy there is no universal tool. Our pilot project demonstrated the concurrent use of adapted screening tools where participants reported at least one area of potential stress, and that linking to resources at the time of a visit is plausible. Future work should examine if screening and point of care linkages of services improves maternal child outcomes.
