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
backgroundMonitoring political and social determinants of delayed or forgone care due to cost is necessary to evaluate efforts to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in access to care. Our objective was to examine the extent to which state Medicaid expansion decisions and personal household income may be associated with individual-level racial and ethnic disparities in delayed or forgone care due to cost, at baseline, before the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
methodsWe used 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey data to examine racial and ethnic differences in delayed or forgone care due to cost in states that do and do not plan Medicaid expansion. We examined personal household income as a social factor that could contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in delayed or forgone care.
resultsWe found that personal income differences were strongly related to disparities in delayed or forgone care in places with and without plans to expand Medicaid. In addition, while delayed or forgone care disparities between non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanic blacks were lowest in places with plans to expand Medicaid access, disparities between non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics did not differ by state Medicaid expansion plans.
conclusionsAs access to insurance improves for diverse groups, health systems must develop innovative strategies to overcome social determinants of health, including income inequities, as barriers to accessing care for Hispanic and non-Hispanic blacks. Additional efforts may be needed to ensure Hispanic groups achieve the benefits of investments in health care access.
