Heterogeneous effects of Medicaid coverage on cardiovascular risk factors: secondary analysis of randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 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.

conclusionsAlthough Medicaid coverage did not improve cardiovascular risk factors on average, substantial heterogeneity was noted in the effects within that population. Individuals with high predicted benefits were more likely to have no or low prior healthcare charges, for example. Our findings suggest that Medicaid coverage leads to improved cardiovascular risk factors for some, particularly for blood pressure, although those benefits may be diluted by individuals who did not experience benefits.
