Health insurance for all children in Quebec? Ethical reflections on the implementation of PL 83.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The adoption of Projet de loi 83 (PL83) in 2021 aimed to grant previously uninsured migrant children in Quebec access to provincial public health insurance. Three years later, health professionals continue to encounter children who should be eligible for provincial insurance through PL83 but remain uninsured and who face various structural barriers that contribute to this limited access (language, administrative navigation, and access to information). This commentary, based on the conceptual framework of the ethics of care, considers autonomy as the ability to make one's own choices with support from others. Contrary to a conception of autonomy as self-sufficiency, the ethics of care encourages the design of policies and implementation measures capable of helping vulnerable individuals overcome barriers. In the case of access to healthcare for migrant children, we suggest presumptive eligibility and raising awareness among all key stakeholders who interact with parents, from admission and administrative staff to physicians.
