Effects of citizenship status, Latino ethnicity, and household language on health insurance coverage for U.S. adolescents, 2007-2016.

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
objective/study questionTo examine changes in uninsurance rates among U.S. adolescents ages 12-17 and assess whether trends over time differed by citizenship status, Latino ethnicity, and household language. DATA SOURCES/STUDY
setting2007-2016 National Health Insurance Survey (NHIS). STUDY
designMultivariable logistic regression and postestimation marginal effects were used to assess changes in the current uninsured rate. Logistic regression models were used to determine significant trends over time for each demographic group and compare them to trends in the broader adolescent population. Marginal effects were employed to calculate adjusted outcome probabilities for each year. PRINCIPAL
findingsAcross all 12- to 17-year-olds, the unadjusted uninsured rate dropped significantly between 2007 and 2016, from 10.2 percent to 6.0 percent. For noncitizen youth, the probability of being uninsured increased from 26.6 percent in 2007 to 28.4 percent in 2016, after controlling for covariates. Latino youth and those in Spanish-speaking households saw declines in their adjusted uninsurance rate that was proportional to non-Latino and English-speaking youth.
conclusionsMost adolescents saw significant improvements in health insurance coverage between 2007 and 2016; however, disparities remain among Spanish-speaking and Latino adolescents and no improvements were seen among noncitizen youth. This suggests a need for equity-focused eligibility, outreach, and enrollment policies that expand insurance options for these populations.
