Examining variation in state spending on medicaid long-term services and supports for older adults.
Article in Home health care services quarterly. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
State Medicaid programs are the largest source of funding for long-term services and supports (LTSS). We characterized states across quartiles of mean LTSS spending for individuals ≥65 and used the Health and Retirement Study to examine the demographic, functional, and caregiving characteristics across these quartiles. Individuals in states with lower Medicaid spending on LTSS reported more family and friend caregiving hours and were more likely to be from racial and ethnic minority groups. Continued work is needed to improve Medicaid LTSS policy to better support vulnerable populations, particularly in lower quartile states.
