The effect of neighborhood deprivation on access to surgical care for pediatric renal tumors.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
objectivesEarly identification of pediatric renal tumors improves outcomes. Neighborhood deprivation, a composite measure of social determinants of health, is associated with poor oncological outcomes. We studied whether neighborhood deprivation influenced metastatic presentation or treatment approach. STUDY
designUsing State Inpatient Databases (SID), we studied children admitted for nephrectomy for a renal tumor in 15 states (2013-2021). Neighborhood deprivation was measured using the Child Opportunity Index 3.0 (COI). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, we examined whether patients presented with metastatic disease and whether they underwent upfront nephrectomy versus nephrectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (delayed nephrectomy).
resultsOut of 1,574 children, 14.2% presented with metastases, and 23.3% underwent delayed nephrectomy. Presentation with metastases and delayed nephrectomy were associated with older age and more complex chronic conditions. Neighborhood deprivation was not significantly associated with presentation with metastases or delayed nephrectomy.
conclusionsNeighborhood deprivation did not significantly impact the presentation or timing of nephrectomy of pediatric renal tumors; biological factors rather than access to care may be the major drivers of variability. However, administrative databases are limited in their ability to fully inform the study of pediatric renal tumors.
