Social Determinants of Health in Patients Undergoing Open Reduction and Internal Fixation for Distal Radius Fractures.
Article in Journal of wrist surgery, 2026. 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
Background: Social determinants of health (SDOH) may influence hand surgery outcomes. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a validated and weighted index comprised of 17 census-based markers of material deprivation and poverty. Questions/Purpose: The purpose was to determine whether patients with high ADI (greater disadvantage) undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures (DRF) were associated with differences in: (1) medical complications, (2) emergency department (ED) utilizations, (3) readmissions, and (4) costs. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ORIF for DRFs were isolated from an insurance database from 2010 to 2020. ADI is reported on a scale of 0 to 100. Higher numbers indicate greater disadvantage. Patients associated with high ADI (95% + ) were compared with controls defined as lower ADI (0-94%). Patients with high ADI were 1:1 propensity-score matched to controls by age, gender, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI). Multivariable logistic regression models computed odds ratios (OR) of ADI on medical complications, ED utilizations, and readmissions. Results: Patients undergoing ORIF for DRF from high ADI incurred higher rates and odds of developing all medical complications (5.58 vs. 4.63%; OR: 1.23, Conclusions: Socioeconomically disadvantaged patients have increased rates and odds of 90-day medical complications following ORIF for DRFs. Level of Evidence: III.
