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

Quality indicators (QIs) are standardized measures for tracking healthcare performance. However, the integration of social determinants of health (SDoH) in developing and reporting QIs remains unclear. This scoping review explores the use of SDoH in QIs for colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery, to assess gaps and provide practical recommendations for better integration of SDoH in cancer care systems. Of 113 studies, 70 (61.9%) reported QIs for healthcare systems, 33 (29.2%) measured factors associated with QIs, and 10 (8.9%) developed QIs. SDoH were assessed in 65 (57.5%) studies, with notable gaps including inadequate adjustment for confounders and interactions, lack of additive effect assessments, and the absence of conceptual social frameworks to guide study design. To support equity in quality monitoring, future research should incorporate SDoH when describing and validating outcomes, report QIs stratified by SDoH, and develop benchmarks for variations in QIs across sociodemographic groups.
