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

objectiveTo assess the impact of Enroll America's field outreach activities on the number of individuals enrolled in Marketplace coverage during the first open enrollment period. DATA SOURCES/STUDY

settingMarketplace enrollment for the initial open enrollment period linked with data on Enroll America's field activities and baseline local-area demographic, economic, and health services characteristics. STUDY

designWe used a quasi-experimental design, comparing Marketplace enrollment during the first open enrollment period in local areas drawn from Enroll America field states to a comparison group of local areas drawn from states that were not served by Enroll America's field effort, but that otherwise match up well with Enroll America states. PRINCIPAL

findingsWe find evidence of a large, positive effect of Enroll America's field outreach on Marketplace enrollment in non-Medicaid expansion states. Across model specifications, the Enroll America effects on Marketplace enrollment ranged between 10 and 15 percent, with most estimates statistically significant at the 5 percent level.

conclusionsEnroll America played an important role in the success of individual states' efforts to boost Marketplace enrollment. Enroll American's evidence-driven, grassroots approach could serve as a model for others interested in conducting similar outreach campaigns for Affordable Care Act-related coverage.
