Which social determinants of health have the highest impact in community oncology to advance patient care equity and improve health outcomes? A scoping review.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionTo better understand the SDOH-health equity landscape within a community oncology setting to answer the research question, "Which SDOH can have the highest impact in community oncology to advance patient care equity and improve health outcomes?"
methodsArksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework was used to identify evidence related to SDOH and health equity in community oncology. The study was guided by the "10-Step Framework for Continuous Patient Engagement" and a Community Advisory Board to assure relevance to patients and community providers. Literature was retrieved from literary databases and oncology organizations' websites. Eligible studies included discussion of SDOH and health equity as outlined by the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively, and involved community oncology/cancer care in outpatient settings. Studies were excluded if the SDOH-health equity relationship was not discussed.
resultsThe review resulted in 61 exploratory and 17 confirmatory "intervention" studies addressing the impact of SDOH on health equity in community oncology settings. The most frequently SDOH-health equity pairs identified were the SDOH categories, social inclusion and non-discrimination, income and social protection, and structural conflict, all paired with the health equity category, access to care/treatment. Confirmatory studies focused on income and social protection (SDOH) and access to care/treatment (health equity); the SDOH categories, social inclusion and non-discrimination and health/general literacy-patient, paired with the health equity category, and adherence/compliance.
conclusionsLiterature highlights the SDOH and health equity relationship within the realm of oncology. Most studies on SDOH/health inequities in the community oncology setting are exploratory. There is the need to shift from documentation of cancer inequities to implementing solutions.
