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
Adults with lower socioeconomic status have a disproportionately higher burden of cardiovascular disease. Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, which went into effect January 1, 2014, in adopting states, led to an expansion of health insurance coverage for low-income adults. To understand whether Medicaid expansion was associated with increased access to outpatient cardiovascular care in expansion states, we examined Medicaid Analytic eXtract administrative claims data for nonelderly adult beneficiaries from the period 2012-15 for two states that expanded Medicaid eligibility (New Jersey and Minnesota) and two states that did not (Georgia and Tennessee) and calculated population-level rates of cardiovascular care use. There was a 38.1 percent greater increase in expansion states in the rate of beneficiaries with outpatient visits for cardiovascular disease management associated with Medicaid expansion relative to nonexpansion states. This was accompanied by a 42.9 percent greater increase in the prescription rate for cardiovascular disease management agents. These results suggest that expansion of Medicaid eligibility was associated with an increase in cardiovascular care use among low-income nonelderly adults in expansion states.
