Estimating the economic impact of restricting reproductive healthcare access in Ohio.
Article in Perspectives on sexual and reproductive health, 2024. 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
objectiveThis study analyzes the economic impacts of Ohio's Senate Bill 23, which would ban abortion care after fetal cardiac activity is detected.
methodsLeveraging previous research and publicly available datasets, a unique set of calculations were developed to determine abortion outcomes, individual costs, and public costs in three scenarios in which abortion care is banned in Ohio. Scenario 1 assumes that all abortion care is sought out-of-state. Scenario 2 assumes that all pregnancies result in a birth. Scenario 3 assumes that pregnancies either result in receiving out-of-state abortion care or result in a birth.
resultsThe total additional economic impact of restricted abortion access in Ohio likely ranges between $98.8 million and $118.4 million, but could be up to $551.4 million per year.
conclusionRegardless of the three scenarios analyzed, restrictions to accessing abortion care result in negative economic impacts for both individuals and the state. Several policy recommendations are proposed for consideration by policymakers and communities.
