Presumptive eligibility for pregnancy Medicaid and timely prenatal care access.
Article in Health services research, 2022. 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
objectiveTo assess the association between the adoption of presumptive eligibility for pregnancy Medicaid in Kansas in 2016 and timely prenatal care access. DATA SOURCE: 2012-2019 National Center for Health Statistics natality files. STUDY
designWe used difference-in-differences to compare outcomes before (2012-2015) and after (2017-2019) presumptive eligibility in Kansas relative to seven control group states overall and stratified by maternal education. Outcomes included first-trimester prenatal care, the month of first prenatal visit, and adequate prenatal care. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsAll live births among adults aged 20 or older in Kansas, Idaho, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. PRINCIPAL
findingsAmong all births, we found no evidence that presumptive eligibility in Kansas resulted in changes in prenatal care use. Among individuals with high school education or less, presumptive eligibility was associated with a 1.92 percentage-point increase (95% CI: 0.64, 4.35) in first-trimester prenatal care, driven by earlier month of first prenatal care visit.
conclusionsPresumptive eligibility in Medicaid non-expansion states may lead to small improvements in early prenatal care among individuals with lower education, but other interventions may be needed.
