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

backgroundTitle X supports access to family planning and preventive care services. Given its focus on low-income clients, Title X clinics may have been particularly affected by the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion.

objectivesTo examine the impact of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion on Title X client volumes, health insurance coverage, and contraceptive method mix. RESEARCH

designA difference-in-differences design compared changes in the outcomes of interest before and after expansion, for expansion versus nonexpansion states. SUBJECTS: Administrative data from Family Planning Annual Reports that describe Title X clients who sought services. MEASURES: Female client volume was measured using a participation ratio defined as the number of female clients per 100 women aged 15-44 with incomes <250% of the federal poverty line. We also examined the share of clients by insurance type and contraceptive method type.

resultsWe did not find evidence that expansion was related to changes in client volume. We did find a significant 9.9 percentage point increase in the share of clients with Medicaid and a significant 10.0 percentage point decrease in the share of clients without coverage. We found suggestive evidence that expansion was associated with increased use of long-acting reversible contraceptives, but those results were somewhat sensitive to model specification.

conclusionsExpansion was associated with meaningful increases in Medicaid coverage at Title X clinics and declines in uninsurance. Our results have important implications for the financial stability of Title X clinics in light of historical declines in Title X grant revenues.
