Health care eligibility and availability and health care reform: Are we addressing rural women's barriers to accessing care?
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRural populations in the U.S. face numerous barriers to health care access. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was developed in part to reduce health care access barriers. We report rural women's access barriers and the PPACA elements that address these barriers as well as potential gaps.
methodsFor this qualitative study, we analyzed two datasets using a common framework. We used content analysis to understand rural, focus group participants' access barriers prior to PPACA implementation. Subsequently, we analyzed the PPACA text.
resultsParticipants described health care access barriers in two domains: availability and eligibility. The PPACA proposes solutions within each domain, including health care workforce training, Medicaid expansion, and employer-based health care provisions. However, in rural settings, access barriers likely persist. DISCUSSION: While elements of the PPACA address some health care access barriers, additional research and policy development are needed to comprehensively and equitably address persistent access barriers for rural women.
