Correlations Between County-Level Social Determinants of Health and Traumatic Brain Injury-Related Mortality in the United States.
Article in Neurotrauma reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nationally representative associations of social determinants of health (SDoH) and health care access metrics with TBI-related mortality are not well described and may differ by age. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiological Research platform and other publicly available datasets, we investigated correlations between county-level measures of SDoH (multidimensional deprivation index, social deprivation index, rural-urban continuum codes) and health care access (median distance to nearest emergency department, trauma center, intensive care unit [ICU], number of hospitals and number of hospitals with ICU capability per 1,000 population) with county-level TBI-related mortality overall and stratified by age in the United States from 1999 through 2020. Data from 2,970 counties (95.4% of eligible U.S. counties) were included. We observed a modest correlation of higher county-level TBI-related mortality with greater rurality (ρ = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.52-0.57,
