Out-of-Pocket Medical Expenditures in the Redesigned Current Population Survey: Evaluating Improvements to Data Processing.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Household surveys are an important source of information on medical spending and burden. We examine how recently implemented post-processing improvements to the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC) affected estimates of medical expenditures and medical burden. The revised data extraction and imputation procedures mark the second stage of the CPS ASEC redesign and the beginning of a new time series for studying household medical expenditures. Using data for the calendar year 2017, we find that median family medical expenditures are not statistically different from legacy methods; however, updated processing does significantly reduce the percentage of families estimated to have a high medical burden (medical expenses are at least 10% of family income). The updated processing system also changes the characteristics of families with high medical spending and is primarily driven by changes in imputation of health insurance and medical spending.
