Overcoming social determinants: World trade center health program monitoring use among the general responders.
Article in Preventive medicine 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
Objective: In the United States, social determinants of health (SDOH) influence preventive health care, morbidity and mortality. As World Trade Center (WTC) general responders' morbidity has been associated with SDOH, we assessed whether their morbidity was associated with WTC Health Program participation. Methods: Five clinical center staff (in New York/New Jersey) collect periodic program data. Adjusted linear, linear mixed model and generalized estimating equation regressions compared general responders' monitoring visits frequencies between January 1, 2008 (when annual monitoring was recommended) and December 31, 2024 in 15,515 members with marginalized and advantaged SDOH (age, sex, race, ethnicity, health care insurance, marital, educational, income occupational and primary language status) characteristics (excludes 7910 non-consenting; 6953 attending <2 visits; 6968 not seen after 2021; and 15,579 with missing data). Results: No substantial (≥3 months) differences were observed. For example, Black (-0.8, 95% CI -1.3, -0.02) and Hispanic (-0.7, 95% CI -1.4, 0.1) members respectively attended monitoring visits approximately 0.75 months sooner than White and non-Hispanic members. Conclusions: While the cohort has proportionately fewer people of color, women and elderly and more private health insurance coverage than the general population, the program has achieved remarkably similar health monitoring participation across the socio-economic spectrum.
