Barriers to and Disparities in Access to Health Care Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years with Epilepsy - United States, 2015 and 2017.
Article in MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Approximately 3 million U.S. adults have active epilepsy (i.e., self-reported doctor-diagnosed history of epilepsy and currently taking epilepsy medication or have had at least one seizure in the past year, or both) (1). One of the most common brain disorders, epilepsy poses a number of challenges for people living with this condition because its treatment can be complex, daily management might be inadequate to achieve seizure control, it limits social participation, and epilepsy is associated with early mortality.
