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

Introduction: This study explores the relationship between health-related social needs and cervical cancer screening among community health center patients. Methods: The authors analyzed data from March 2020 to March 2023 for women aged 24-64 years seeking care at a community health center across 19 states that share an electronic data repository. Health-related social needs were assessed through (1) health-related social needs questionnaire, (2) health-related social needs questionnaire + keyword search for health-related social needs (expanded health-related social needs capture), and (3) a homelessness flag. The authors examined the completion of cervical cancer screening before and after health-related social need screenings in unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Results: Most women identified as Hispanic/Latino, were aged between 31 and 64 years, were single, had Medicaid, and had an income <100% federal poverty level. Food insecurity was the most common health-related social need, with a 13% prevalence. Before health-related social need screenings, 64% of the population completed cervical cancer screening. Women with health-related social needs had no significant differences in cervical cancer screening from those without; however, when stratified by age, women aged 24-30 years with health-related social needs reported higher cervical cancer screening rates than those without (71% vs 68%, Conclusions: Our findings showed that health-related social needs were associated with cervical cancer screening, with differences varying by age group and type of social need. Women aged 24-30 years with food insecurity had significantly higher cervical cancer screening rates than those without health-related social needs, and women of any age with housing insecurity had significantly lower cervical cancer screening rates than those without health-related social needs. After health-related social need screenings, disparities persisted among women who had experiences of homelessness.
