Maternal Health Equity in Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations: Early Lessons from the Massachusetts Experience.
Article in Health equity, 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
There are substantial inequities by race and ethnicity in maternal health care utilization and health outcomes across the perinatal period. As Medicaid covers 42% of births nationally and almost two-thirds of births to Black birthing people, state Medicaid financing and delivery system reforms have substantial scope to impact these inequities. Twenty-one states have implemented Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) at some point since 2015. Using public documents and interviews with ACO administrators, we examine the implications of Massachusetts Medicaid ACOs, implemented in March 2018, for maternal health equity. Although these Medicaid ACOs have the potential to impact maternal health equity, they face many challenges in doing so. We review future steps within Massachusetts Medicaid ACOs and Medicaid programs more generally to incorporate policies that may better address racial and ethnic inequities.
