Remotely addressing health-related social needs (ELICIT) in cystic fibrosis: design and implementation of a multicenter screening and intervention quality improvement project.
Article in Therapeutic advances in respiratory disease. 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
backgroundSocial determinants of health (SDOH) and health-related social needs (HRSN) drive disparities in lung function, nutrition, and survival in People with Cystic Fibrosis (PwCF). Addressing HRSN can improve access to care, yet standardized screening and intervention methods remain underutilized.
objectivesThe aim of this project was to develop, test, and refine a remote HRSN screening and intervention model across multiple cystic fibrosis (CF) centers.
designA multicenter, prospective Quality Improvement (QI) initiativeMethods:Four CF centers, serving both pediatric and adult populations, piloted an electronic HRSN screening tool and a remote social need intervention strategy. Developed collaboratively with CF clinicians and patient and family partners (PFPs), the tool assesses nine HRSN domains. Multidisciplinary teams, including PwCF, held regular meetings to tailor implementation to each site's existing clinical workflow and staff structure. Over 1 year, each site conducted iterative Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles every 2 weeks to refine the screening process, sharing adaptations across centers.
resultsAll four CF centers successfully implemented the remote HRSN screening and intervention workflows, completing 26 iterative PDSA cycles to refine site-specific processes. Study site meetings were held with multidisciplinary attendance at 100% of meetings. The screening tool was integrated into pre-visit planning and telehealth workflows, allowing for social worker follow-up of identified needs. Multidisciplinary collaboration from all sites resulted in the generation of a comprehensive library of local and regional resources to support unmet needs identified during screening. Narrative patient testimonial highlighted the screening tool's effectiveness in facilitating discussions about social needs and connecting individuals to available resources from the perspective of PwCF.
conclusionOur study has shown that HRSN screening and intervention are feasible, adaptable and acceptable to PwCF. Next steps include gathering comprehensive data on screening and intervention rates, domains of unmet social needs across regions, and sustainability interventions. Expanding HRSN screening and intervention to other CF Centers can provide data to support public policy and advocacy initiatives for reducing health disparities driven by SDOH.
