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

objectivesTo understand if neighborhood-level social deprivation moderates the association between gaining health insurance and improved hypertension control.

methodsWe used electronic health record (EHR) data from the Accelerating Data Value Across a National Community Health Center Network (ADVANCE) clinical data research network from five states that expanded Medicaid eligibility (CA, OH, OR, WA, WI). We include patients with hypertension aged 19-64. Controlled hypertension was assessed for four groups pre-(1/1/2012-12/31/2013) to post-(1/1/2014-12/31/2017) Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion: (1) newly insured, (2) continuously insured, (3) discontinuously insured, and (4) continuously uninsured. We also used Social Deprivation Index score to derive predicted probability of controlled hypertension using logistic mixed effects.

resultsN = 28,485 patients. All groups experienced improved hypertension control: the newly insured saw a greater increase than the other groups (8.6% vs. 0.9% for the continuously uninsured, 1.3% for the continuously and 3.0% for the discontinuously insured). The likelihood of hypertension control rose more for the newly insured (vs. the other insurance groups) for patients living in the most deprived neighborhoods (16% from pre- to post-ACA).

conclusionsGaining health insurance was related to hypertension control; individuals living in the most disadvantaged communities experienced the greatest benefit. POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Ensuring health insurance access is important for cardiovascular health, especially among disadvantaged communities.
