The ages and stages of paediatric social prescribing.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 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
Social determinants of health can profoundly impact child and adolescent health outcomes. As demands on Canadian primary health care continue to grow, there is an increasing risk that patients' needs will go unmet. Social prescribing offers a practical way to address these concerns across all ages. Using a personalized approach, social prescribing enables healthcare professionals to identify individuals' non-medical needs and connect them with appropriate community resources via dedicated community connectors. These connectors can collaborate with children, adolescents, and their families to explore their values, co-create a social prescription, support its implementation, and provide longitudinal follow-up. Pediatric healthcare providers are particularly well-poised to make these referrals to deliver comprehensive care that supports their patients' holistic development. This commentary highlights representative examples of Canadian social prescribing initiatives that can benefit pediatric patients, emphasizing how these practices can be adapted across developmental stages and grow alongside the individual.
