Enrollee characteristics and receipt of colorectal cancer testing in Pennsylvania after adoption of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion.

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
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. Despite increased CRC screening rates, they remain low among low-income non-older adults, including Medicaid enrollees who are more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stages.
objectivesGiven limited evidence regarding CRC screening service use among Medicaid enrollees, we examined multilevel factors associated with CRC testing among Medicaid enrollees in Pennsylvania after Medicaid expansion in 2015. RESEARCH
designUsing the 2014-2019 Medicaid administrative data, we performed multivariable logistic regression models to assess factors associated with CRC testing, adjusting for enrollment length and primary care services use. SUBJECTS: We identified 15,439 adults aged 50-64 years newly enrolled through Medicaid expansion. MEASURES: Outcome measures include receiving any CRC testing and by modality.
resultsAbout 32% of our study population received any CRC testing. Significant predictors for any CRC testing include being male, being Hispanic, having any chronic conditions, using primary care services ≤4 times annually, and having a higher county-level median household income. Being 60-64 years at enrollment, using primary care services >4 times annually, and having higher county-level unemployment rates were significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of receiving any CRC tests.
conclusionsCRC testing rates were low among adults newly enrolled in Medicaid under the Medicaid expansion in Pennsylvania relative to adults with high income. We observed different sets of significant factors associated with CRC testing by modality. Our findings underscore the urgency to tailor strategies by patients' racial, geographic, and clinical conditions for CRC screening.
