Medicaid Waivers for Youth with Severe Emotional Disturbance: Associations with Public Health Coverage, Unmet Mental Health Needs & Adequacy of Health Coverage.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid waivers for Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) extend Medicaid eligibility to youth who otherwise would be financially ineligible and finance a broad array of highly specialized mental health services specific to the needs of youth with SED. This study examines whether these policies are associated with greater public health insurance coverage among youth with severe mental health diagnoses. It also assesses, among youth with severe mental health diagnoses who have public health coverage, whether waiver policies are associated with reduced reports of unmet mental health treatment need and increased reports of adequate mental health coverage. Analysis uses CMS reported data on state HCBS Medicaid waivers in conjunction with data from the National Survey of Children's Health for the years 2016 through 2018. Multi-level, fixed-effects logistic regression models demonstrate that living in a state with an HCBS Medicaid waiver is associated with significantly increased odds of having public insurance among children with concurrent private health coverage (OR 1.89), reduced odds of unmet mental health needs among youth with public coverage (OR 0.45), but not significantly associated with reported adequacy of mental health insurance coverage.
