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

purposeHealth care systems increasingly incorporate social risk data into electronic health records (EHRs) to address needs like food, housing, and transportation insecurity. This study evaluated whether EHR-integrated social clinical decision support (SCDS) tools improved control of blood pressure (BP) and hemoglobin A

methodsWe conducted a cluster randomized trial in a large primary care network. This pragmatic trial was designed to assess tool impact in real-world clinic conditions. Six clinics received SCDS tools embedded in the EHR; 44 clinics served as controls. The tools supported clinic-wide workflows and targeted decision support. A screening alert was triggered for adult patients lacking up-to-date social risk screening. Additional components were activated for patients with uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes, or with a diagnosis of either condition combined with a visit no-show rate of at least 50%. Primary outcomes were BP and HbA

resultsBlood pressure control improved over 12 months in both arms, with significantly greater improvement in intervention clinics. Control of HbA

conclusionAccess to EHR-integrated SCDS tools was associated with increased documentation of social risks and greater improvements in BP control. These findings support embedding social risk data into clinical workflows to enhance chronic disease management in primary care.
