Exploring Social Determinants of Health in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 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
backgroundPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic ciliopathy characterized by a diverse clinical presentation with marked respiratory complications and adversely impacts quality of life. However, the lived experience of individuals with PCD extends beyond biological complications, intersecting with social determinants of health (SDoH). The role of SDoH in the context of PCD remains insufficiently characterized.
objectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to assess the current picture of SDoH insecurity among primary caregivers of pediatric PCD/highly likely PCD patients.
methodsThe study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Türkiye, from March 1 to October 31, 2024. Primary caregivers of children aged 6-18 years with PCD/highly likely PCD were surveyed using the "Your Current Life Situation" questionnaire. Data on caregiver demographics, income, education, smoking status, and household conditions were collected. Clinical data (BMI, FEV1, hospitalizations, and annual antibiotic courses) were retrieved from patient records. Descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests were applied using SPSS 22.0.
resultsAmong 67 respondents (response rate: 73%), 89.6% reported insecurity in ≥ 1 of six SDoH domains. The most common issues were social support/stress (73.1%), healthcare access (53.7%), and financial hardship (49.3%). Most families (86.5%) lived below the poverty line; 55.2% of caregivers had inadequate health literacy.
conclusionsA high prevalence of SDoH insecurity was identified among caregivers of children with PCD/highly likely PCD, highlighting unmet psychosocial and healthcare access needs. The substantial proportion of caregivers requiring support underscores the the need for routine SDoH screening, caregiver support, and targeted interventions to promote health equity in PCD patients.
