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

The study compares racial differences in access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients under Medicaid managed care and Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS). This study uses the HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study (HCSUS) data set. The analysis includes Black and White Medicaid enrollees with HIV/AIDS in 1996. Logistic regression is used to estimate the models with exposure to HAART as the dependent variable. This study suggests that Black enrollees still face barriers in access to care, even after Medicaid has assured financial access. Disparities in access to HIV/AIDS treatment exist under both Medicaid FFS and Medicaid managed care.
