Socioeconomic Factors Impact the Perception of Healthcare Experiences in Patients with Cirrhosis.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 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
backgroundSuboptimal patient-provider relationship is a significant contributor to healthcare disparities. Minority populations report fewer favorable interactions, which may lead to poorer outcomes and engagement in care. Patients with chronic diseases are especially at risk.
aimsWe aimed to study perceptions of healthcare providers and experience among those with cirrhosis.
methodsThe nationally representative database, All of Us, was queried. The primary outcome was "favorable healthcare experiences," defined as whether providers asked for opinions, demonstrated respect, and were easy to understand. The secondary outcome was "unfavorable healthcare experiences," defined as whether patients felt they were treated with less courtesy, received poorer service, or not listened to. We compared the experience between income levels and other demographic variables. Multivariable logistic regression was adjusted for a priori covariates.
results5753 patients with cirrhosis were included with a mean age of 58. The majority were male (51%), White (52%), and US-born (84%). On multivariable analysis, compared to those earning > $150 k annually, participants with $10-35 k and < $10 k reported significantly lower odds of finding providers easy to understand (OR 0.40 [0.17-0.96] and OR 0.37 [0.15-0.94], respectively) and higher odds of feeling they were treated with less courtesy (OR 3.10 [1.06-9.03] and OR 4.13 [1.30-13.1], respectively). After further controlling for education, participants with an annual income of $10-35 k and < $10 k still reported higher odds of feeling they received poorer service than others (OR 3.87 [1.09-13.71] and OR 5.01 [1.26-19.8], respectively). Compared to men, women felt that they were not listened to (OR 1.90 [1.37-2.63]).
conclusionPatients with cirrhosis from various backgrounds report significantly different experiences with providers. Notably, those with lower income endorsed more unfavorable interactions. We identified areas for interventions to strengthen the patient-provider relationship among patients with chronic liver disease.
