Availability of Outpatient Addiction Treatment and Use of Emergency Department Services Among Medicaid Enrollees.

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
objectiveThe study examined whether the number of outpatient addiction programs accepting Medicaid in South Carolina counties is linked to repeat use of the emergency department for addiction-related conditions.
methodsThe study included the population all adult Medicaid enrollees (N=2,401) in South Carolina with at least one addiction-related emergency service visit in 2012 or 2013. A random-effects logistic regression model was used to examine the association between outpatient addiction treatment availability and repeat use by Medicaid enrollees of emergency services for addiction-related conditions.
resultsEnrollees in counties with two or more programs that accept Medicaid were less likely to have a repeat addiction-related emergency service visit than enrollees in counties with only one program that accepts Medicaid.
conclusionsAvailability of outpatient addiction treatment may reduce the need for addiction-related emergency services. Research is needed to explore potential causal mechanisms underlying this observed relationship.
