Health-Related Social Needs Are Associated With Worse Physical Function, Pain, and Mobility in Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Patients at Presentation.

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: Health-related social needs (HRSNs) are mandatory reporting measures per the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We sought to assess the prevalence of HRSNs and associations with clinical presentation among preoperative hip and knee osteoarthritis patients. Methods: This prospective single-institution cross-sectional study assessed HRSNs (living situation, food, transportation, utilities, safety, financial strain, substance use, and mental health); Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function, Mobility, Pain Interference scores; and demographics (sex, race, education, income, household size, marital status) via in-person interviews in an academic arthroplasty practice. Kellgren-Lawrence Osteoarthritis Score, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and insurance were also determined. Odds of HRSNs by demographics were analyzed using logistic regression and relationship between HRSNs and PROMIS scores was determined by weighted least square linear regression. Results: The study included 253 patients. Prevalences of each HRSN were 15% for living situation, 13% for food insecurity, 11% for transportation, 4% for utilities, 0.4% for safety, 58% for mental health, 31% for substance use, and 27% for financial strain. Black patients and patients on Medicaid had higher HRSN prevalences. PROMIS scores were significantly worse in patients with HRSNs, particularly for living situation, financial strain, and mental health domains ( Conclusions: HRSNs are significant among hip and knee osteoarthritis patients and disproportionately high for Black and Medicaid patients. Patients with HRSNs presented with significantly worse PROMIS scores across Physical Function, Mobility, and Pain Interference domains, highlighting a healthcare disparity in this population.
