Unveiling the Challenges and Solutions: A Scoping Review of Maternal Healthcare Access in Rural Georgia.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
This literature review explores the influence of legislative policies on maternal healthcare accessibility in rural Georgia, where systemic barriers have created significant challenges for maternal health outcomes. Key legislation includes House Bill (H.B.) 1114 (2020), which expanded Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to six months. S.B. 106, the "Healthy Babies Act," prioritizes telehealth and remote maternal health services, while H.B. 1037 (2023) proposes establishing the Georgia Commission on Maternal and Infant Health. Despite these advances, rural areas continue to face shortages of obstetric providers and facilities, financial barriers to care, and limited awareness of postpartum health risks. Recommendations include enhancing incentives for providers to accept Medicaid through faster reimbursement and expanding obstetric training programs to alleviate provider shortages. Extending Medicaid coverage to include chronic illnesses, mental health, and oral health up to one year postpartum is essential for comprehensive care. Additionally, fostering strong patient-provider relationships is necessary to strengthen postpartum health awareness and ensure open communication about potential health complications. These recommendations provide a framework for reducing disparities and improving maternal health outcomes in rural Georgia while offering insights into addressing broader rural healthcare challenges.
