The Affordable Care Act and End-of-Life Care for Patients With Cancer.
Article in Cancer journal (Sudbury, Mass.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded access to high-quality end-of-life care for Americans with serious illness, including cancer. Before the ACA was enacted in 2010, nearly 715,000 patients died in hospitals annually, despite evidence that most Americans prefer to die at home. Moreover, fewer than half of Medicare beneficiaries used hospice before death, despite evidence that hospice services improve cancer patients' quality of life near death and caregivers' bereavement outcomes. The ACA-stipulated programs and subsequent efforts were designed to address these deficiencies in access to high-quality end-of-life care. However, important gaps in coverage persist. In this article, we highlight the impact of the ACA on end-of-life care for individuals with and without cancer.
