1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo assess the association between double loss (disclosure of social needs without receiving assistance) with low-income children's health care utilization outcomes.

methodsData were from a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating a social needs screening and referral intervention (WE CARE) implemented in 3 community health centers. WE CARE included 3 components: 1) social risk/need screener assessing parental desire for assistance with unmet social needs, 2) resource information referrals, and 3) patient navigator. A family was defined as experiencing double loss if, at their child's well-child visits (WCVs) from birth to age 3, there was at least 1 scanned screener with a request for help without a referral documented in the electronic health record. Multiple logistic regression was used to compare rates of double loss with adherence to WCV and immunization schedules.

resultsAmong the cohort of children (n = 403), 43.4% were Black, 21.1% Latino/a/e, and 13.9% Asian. Overall, 40.5% of parents experienced double loss. Families who experienced double loss had fewer reported social needs (0.3 vs 1.5, P < 0.001). Children whose families' experienced double loss had significantly lower WCV adherence ratios in the first 3 years of life (0.40 vs 0.43, P < 0.0001). Similarly, the immunization adherence ratio for children was significantly lower for families who experienced double loss than for families who did not experience double loss (0.79 vs 0.92, P < 0.0001).

conclusionsFamilies experienced double loss had significantly lower WCV and immunization adherence. These exploratory findings carry significant implications for pediatric practice, guidelines, and health policy.
