Effects of Medicaid Automatic Enrollment on Disparities in Insurance Coverage and Caregiver Burden for Children with Special Health Care Needs.
Article in Medical care research and review : MCRR, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We analyze how Medicaid automatic enrollment policies for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) who are enrolled in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) reduce disparities in health insurance coverage and caregiving burden. Using the 2009-2010 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, we implement a difference-in-differences regression model comparing insurance enrollment rates between CSHCN receiving SSI and CSHCN not receiving SSI, in states with and without automatic enrollment policies. We find that Medicaid automatic enrollment has a meaningful impact on insurance enrollment for low-income CSHCN who participate in SSI and can be an effective method for mitigating disparities in insurance coverage (reducing uninsurance by 38%). Medicaid automatic enrollment also reduces caregiver burden among socioeconomically disadvantaged families with CSHCN. The effects of these policies are largest families who might be on the margin of eligibility or who face high administrative burden.
