Medicaid expansion, health insurance coverage, and cost barriers to care among low-income adults with asthma: the Adult Asthma Call-Back Survey.
Article in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo examine Medicaid expansion (ME) effects on health insurance coverage (HIC) and cost barriers to medical care among people with asthma.
methodWe analyzed 2012-2013 and 2015-2016 data from low-income adults with current asthma aged 18-64 years in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Asthma Call-Back Survey (state-level telephone survey). We calculated weighted percentages and 95% confidence intervals from ME and non-ME jurisdictions (according to 2014 ME status). Outcomes were HIC and cost barriers to buying asthma medication (MED), seeing a health care provider for asthma (HCP), or any asthma care (AAC). Using SUDAAN, we performed survey-weighted difference-in-differences analyses, adjusting for demographics. Subgroup analyses were stratified by demographics.
resultsOur study population included 6445 participants from 25 states plus Puerto Rico. In 2015-2016 compared to 2012-2013, HIC was more common in ME jurisdictions (
conclusionsWe found ME significantly affected HIC among low-income adults with asthma, but not cost barriers to asthma-related health care. Strategies to reduce cost barriers to asthma care could further improve health care access among low-income adults with asthma in ME jurisdictions.
