A Scoping Review of Social Determinants of Health and Pain Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease.
Article in Pain management nursing : official journal of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder with chronic pain that affects over 100,000 people in the United States. Previous research suggests a complex interaction between SCD pain outcomes and social determinants of health (SDOH).
objectiveTo explore the impact of SDOH on pain outcomes in SCD.
designWe used a scoping review design to explore the broad topic of social factors that affect SCD pain. DATA SOURCES: We searched the PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase databases using combined search and Medical Subject Headings terms ("social determinants of health," "sickle cell," and "pain"). REVIEW
methodsWe used a content analysis with a summative approach to identify and describe interactions between SDOH and SCD pain outcomes.
findingsEight articles reporting studies with 7,992 total participants and a focus on SCD pain outcomes met the inclusion criteria. Three themes related to SDOH and pain were produced: education and employment, social and emotional functioning, and healthcare access.
conclusionThe key findings highlight the complex interplay between socioeconomic, psychological, and biological factors in SCD pain experiences. This underscores the need for nursing care to consider SDOH in an integrated, holistic approach to SCD pain. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: To improve pain management among their SCD patients, nurses can assess pain holistically, develop customized individual pain management plans with educational and health literacy support options, and strengthen social support.
