Continued Importance of Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinics in the Era of the Affordable Care Act.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionFollowing the 2014 expansions of Medicaid and private health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, municipal sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics-which have historically served predominantly uninsured patients-have been threatened with budget cuts nationwide. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the insurance expansions on the demand for STD clinic services.
methodsThe proportion of total incident sexually transmitted infections in Baltimore City that were diagnosed at STD clinics was compared between 2013 and 2014, and a multivariate analysis was conducted to determine factors associated with diagnosis at an STD clinic. Analyses were conducted in July 2015.
resultsThere was no change in the overall proportion of sexually transmitted infection diagnoses made at STD clinics from 2013 to 2014 (relative rate, 1.03; 95% CI=0.95, 1.11). Hispanic ethnicity, black race, male sex, and age >24 years were associated with an increased likelihood of STD clinic utilization (p<0.0001).
conclusionsDespite the Affordable Care Act's insurance expansion measures, the demand for STD clinics remained stable. These safety net clinics serve patients likely to face barriers to accessing traditional health care and their preservation should remain a priority.
