Inconsistent Medicaid Coverage is Associated with Negative Health Events for People with Epilepsy.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveExamine the association between gaps in Medicaid coverage and negative health events (NHEs) for people with epilepsy (PWE).
methodsUsing five years of Medicaid claims for PWE, we identified gaps in Medicaid coverage. We used logistic regression to evaluate the association between a gap in coverage and being in the top quartile of NHEs and factors associated with having a gap. These models adjusted for: demographics, residence, medication adherence, disease severity, and comorbidities.
resultsOf 186,616 PWE, 21.7% had a gap in coverage. The odds of being in the top quartile of NHEs per year were 66% higher among those with a gap (OR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.61, 1.70). Being female, younger, and having psychiatric comorbidities increased the odds of having a gap.
conclusionsGaps in Medicaid coverage are associated with being a high utilizer during covered periods. Specific groups could be targeted with interventions to reduce churning.
