1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The social determinants of health (SDH) drive child health inequities. Adverse SDH are experienced at an individual level as unmet social needs. In a paediatric Allied Healthcare system, these unmet social needs are barriers to service access. Evidence: Social prescribing offers a promising solution. However, this practice is not routinely implemented in Australia. Objective: To determine whether the Routine Identification of Unmet Social Needs to Unlock Potential (RISE UP) social prescribing model of care is needed, feasible, and acceptable within a paediatric Allied Healthcare intake context. Methods: A pilot study using mixed-methods approach to design, implement, and evaluate the RISE UP model of care. Results: Most parent/carers, 114 of 144 (79.2%), agreed to participate in RISE UP, with 74 of 114 (64.9%), reporting one or more unmet social needs. Childcare ( Conclusion: Unmet social needs identification and referrals pathways in paediatric Allied Healthcare intake services are needed and acceptable to parents/carers. However, further action is required to overcome challenges in integrating these models within existing Allied Healthcare systems in Australia.
