Social determinants of health as risk and protective factors for health care access among sexual and gender minority parents.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) people are increasingly becoming parents. To examine the relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and health care access among SGM parents when seeking health care for themselves, we used 2018–2019 prospective cohort data from The PRIDE Study. We compared health care access between 555 SGM parents and 555 age-matched SGM non-parents. We then used modified Poisson regression to assess the association between SDOH at baseline and health care access at one-year follow-up among SGM parents. We found that SGM parents and SGM non-parents reported differences in SGM identity disclosure to health care providers and health care utilization; SGM parents were less likely than SGM non-parents to disclose SGM identity to health care providers (p < 0.001) and reported more health care avoidance (p = 0.021). Among SGM parents, greater SGM identity concealment (aRR 1.13, 95% CI 1.05–1.22) and increased social isolation (aRR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01–1.10) predicted increased health care avoidance attributed to fear of disrespect or mistreatment. Increased social isolation (aRR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01–1.09) also predicted increased all-cause delayed health care access. Among SGM parents, when seeking health care for themselves, these proxy measures of interpersonal-level and community-level SDOH suggested risk and protective factors influencing health care access.
