1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo evaluate insurance instability (churn) among adults with diabetes receiving care at community-based health centers (CHCs).

methodsRetrospective cohort study using patients' electronic health records data for 300,158 adults aged 19 to 64 with ≥3 ambulatory visits between 2014 and 2019 of which 39,542 churned out of insurance. Generalized estimating equation-based (GEE) logistic regression models were fitted to assess the odds of churning.

resultsAmong CHC patients, those with diabetes had 1.25 greater odds of churning than those without diabetes (aOR = 1.25; 95%CI = 1.18, 1.33). Among CHC patients with diabetes, the odds of churning were higher for those with uncontrolled diabetes, more complex medication regimens, and acute diabetes complication.

conclusionsCHC patients with diabetes are more likely to experience insurance instability than those without diabetes. Outreach efforts to reduce the impact of the postpandemic Medicaid disenrollment among patients with diabetes and lower income will be critical to reduce harmful health consequences.
