Medicare Advantage enrollment and outcomes of post-acute nursing home care among patients with dementia.
Article in Health affairs scholar, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Enrollment in Medicare Advantage (MA) has been rapidly growing. We examined whether MA enrollment affects the outcomes of post-acute nursing home care among patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). We exploited year-to-year changes in MA penetration rates within counties from 2012 through 2019. After adjusting for patient-level characteristics and county fixed effects, we found that MA enrollment was not associated with days spent at home, nursing home days, likelihood of becoming a long-stay resident, hospital days, hospital readmission, or 1-year mortality. There was a modest increase in successful discharge to the community by 0.73 percentage points (relative increase of 2.4%) associated with a 10-percentage-point increase in MA enrollment. The results are consistent among racial/ethnic subgroups and dual-eligible patients. These findings suggest an imperative need to monitor and improve quality of managed care among enrollees with ADRD.
