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
objectiveTo characterize the landscape of policies that determine eligibility for family planning services through Medicaid programs and describe trends in eligibility and its determinants over time. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY
settingSecondary data were collected for all states in the United States for the years 2008 through 2023. Data on economic and demographic characteristics came from the American Community Survey (ACS). STUDY
designOur descriptive study characterized state adoptions of Medicaid family planning section 1115 waivers and state plan amendments (SPA) and their eligibility criteria. We then estimated the proportion of women aged 19-44 years who were eligible for family planning services through Medicaid and identified the key determinants of changes in eligibility, by state and year. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsInformation on state Medicaid policies was extracted from documentation on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website. When estimating the eligible population sizes, the denominator was women aged 19-44 years, the group most likely to be eligible for Medicaid family planning programs. Supplemental data on program enrollment or utilization were collected from states' websites and reports. PRINCIPAL
findingsThough eligibility limits for family planning through Medicaid generally increased over time, the proportion of women aged 19-44 years eligible for at least limited benefits decreased from 45.0% in 2012 to 39.4% in 2022, largely because of increases in household income. Trends varied considerably across states and by eligibility pathway. Among women with incomes below the poverty level, the proportion who were not eligible for Medicaid family planning services decreased from 6.3% in 2013 to 1.5% in 2022.
conclusionsOur data demonstrated substantial geographic and temporal variation in eligibility for family planning services through Medicaid. We identified key drivers of eligibility changes that may have important implications for health services analyses of means-tested public programs.
