The impact of socioeconomic determinants of health and resulting health inequalities on children and young people with long-term health conditions in the UK: a scoping review protocol.
Article in Systematic reviews, 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
backgroundSocioeconomic determinants of health (SDoH) have a significant impact on healthcare, health outcomes, and resulting health inequalities. A wealth of research relating to the adult population exists, including those with long-term health conditions. However, research is lacking on the impact of these SDoH on children and young people with long-term health conditions. Children and young people are also often forgotten when it comes to policies, legislation, and funding to reduce health inequalities. This scoping review aims to explore the extent and quality of research, legislation, and policies in the United Kingdom, in relation to SDoH and the resulting health inequalities in children and young people with long-term health conditions. METHODS AND
designA flexible, iterative approach to this scoping review will enhance our ability to explore the impact of SDoH on children and young people with long-term health conditions. This will involve six steps: (1) defining the research question; (2) identifying relevant articles; (3) study selection; (4) charting the data; (5) collating, summarising, and reporting the results; and (6) consultation exercise with key stakeholders. A search of EMBASE, EMCARE, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, Sociological Abstracts, and APA PsycINFO will be conducted from 2010 to present to evaluate the published literature following the Equality Act (2010), which set out the legal framework, and the Marmot Review (2010), a strategic review of health inequalities. Manual searching of national and international conferences, government white papers, published reports, and research summaries searched via the Health Research Authority website, and grey literature will be included. DISCUSSION: This review will inform concurrent work being undertaken at Great Ormond Street Hospital, which aims to develop and implement targeted, evidence-based interventions to reduce the impact of these SDoH and the resulting health inequalities. As such, this review is focused on UK-specific evidence relevant to our healthcare systems and patient population. The inclusion of UK policy and legislative literature will also ensure a real-world perspective and identify current gaps in policy that need to be addressed. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: This review protocol has been registered within the Open Science Framework database ( osf.io/5ut9x ).
