Social Determinants of Health and Patient Experiences During Transitions From Inpatient Rehabilitation to Home.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 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
Transitions from inpatient rehabilitation to home critically affect patient recovery and caregiver well-being. Social determinants of health (SDoH) shape these outcomes yet remain underexamined in rehabilitation settings. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of SDoH on patient and caregiver experiences during the first 30 days following discharge from a multi-site inpatient rehabilitation facility in the southeastern United States and explore patterns of patient satisfaction and caregiver burden that can influence care transitions. A prospective cross-sectional descriptive study surveyed 61 patients and 50 caregivers using validated instruments assessing SDoH, communication, discharge preparedness, and caregiver burden. Social isolation, affecting 18% of patients and 10% of caregivers, was the most prevalent challenge. Additional challenges include health literacy and transportation barriers. Caregivers experienced substantial burden: 60% decline in social activities, 50% decreased energy, and 40.9% negative physical health effects. However, 58.1% reported strengthened patient relationships. This study identifies the importance of care continuity and SDoHs after inpatient rehabilitation. Interdisciplinary interventions focused on these key challenges are essential for improving outcomes.
