The association of Medicaid expansion and pediatric cancer overall survival.
Article in Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Medicaid eligibility expansion, though not directly applicable to children, has been associated with improved access to care in children with cancer, but associations with overall survival are unknown. Data for children ages 0 to 14 years diagnosed with cancer from 2011 to 2018 were queried from central cancer registries data covering cancer diagnoses from 40 states as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries. Difference-in-differences analyses were used to compare changes in 2-year survival from 2011-2013 to 2015-2018 in Medicaid expansion relative to nonexpansion states. In adjusted analyses, there was a 1.50 percentage point (95% confidence interval = 0.37 to 2.64) increase in 2-year overall survival after 2014 in expansion relative to nonexpansion states, particularly for those living in the lowest county income quartile (difference-in-differences = 5.12 percentage point, 95% confidence interval = 2.59 to 7.65). Medicaid expansion may improve cancer outcomes for children with cancer.
