Medicaid Payments For Immediate Postpartum Long-Acting Reversible Contraception: Evidence From South Carolina.
Article in Health affairs (Project Hope), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In 2012 South Carolina's Medicaid program was the first state Medicaid program to separate payment for the immediate postpartum placement of long-acting reversible contraception (intrauterine devices and contraceptive implants) from its global maternity payment. Examining data on all Medicaid-insured South Carolina women giving birth from 2010 to 2014, we found that the new policy achieved its explicit goal: increasing the availability of immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception. Among adolescents, for whom most pregnancies are unintended, this represented new use of long-acting reversible options, rather than substitution for sterilization or for short-acting reversible methods. Therefore, the new policy also significantly increased use of highly effective postpartum contraception in an age group that is particularly vulnerable to closely spaced, higher-risk repeat pregnancies. However, fewer than half of facilities began to offer immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraceptives after the policy change. Additional policy approaches may be needed to achieve widespread availability of this option.
