Association of Social Drivers of Health With Hospitalizations for Pediatric Asthma.
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
objectiveSocial drivers of health (SDOH) impact health outcomes for children with asthma. Advances in geocoding enable better SDOH measurement in research. We aimed to: 1) examine relationship between three SDOH composite indices-Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), Childhood Opportunity Index 3.0 (COI), Area Deprivation Index (ADI)-and asthma patient disposition from emergency room; and 2) determine which index most closely correlates with admission rates.
methodsRetrospective cohort study, patients 2-18 years presenting for asthma, defined using computational phenotype requiring: asthma diagnostic code, ≥2 doses nebulized albuterol, and ≥1 systemic steroid dose within 24 h of presentation. Data obtained 2021-2024 from Indiana Network for Patient Care, a state-wide health information exchange. Exposures included three SDOH indices. Mixed effects multinomial logistic regression to evaluate associations with patient disposition and recurrent emergency room encounters.
resultsTotal 5895 asthma encounters (4485 patients), with 27.85% resulting in admission (57.3% ward, 42.6 ICU). Female gender, chronic illness, "other" preferred language, >1 year since last outpatient visit increased admission likelihood. Black race and preferred language Spanish were associated with lower likelihood (vs. white, English-speaking reference). No SDOH indicator provided superior differentiation of patient disposition. However, census tract-level random effects were meaningful across all three models.
conclusionsGender, race, language, chronic comorbidity, and preventive healthcare access are associated with emergency and repeat hospital use in pediatric asthma. Geographic context plays a meaningful role in patients' clinical disposition, but the geographic component driving this association is not meaningfully captured by any of the three SDOH indices studied.
