Association of Social Determinants of Health With Hospital Readmission and Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2024. 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
backgroundThe relative contributions of common patient-reported social determinants of health on 30- and 90-day post-discharge outcomes among patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is unclear.
objectiveThe aim of this article is to examine the independent associations of social determinants with readmission or death, accounting for medical history.
methodsParticipants included adults who were hospitalized with ACS at an academic medical center. Domains measured were social support, health literacy/numeracy, and socioeconomic status (SES) (including education and difficulty paying bills). We employed multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to study associations with time to all-cause readmission or death, up to 30 or 90 days after discharge, and adjusted for demographics and medical history (prior admissions and Elixhauser comorbidity index). KEY
resultsAmong 1,168 patients with ACS and no history of heart failure, more prior admissions, and higher comorbidity index (the medical history domain) were associated with higher rates of 30- and 90-day readmission or death (domain
conclusionsIn addition to medical history, the domain of health literacy and numeracy was independently associated with readmission or death of patients with ACS during the 90 days after hospital discharge. [
