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
Physical Medicaid offices may play an important role in supporting beneficiaries and alleviating administrative burdens during critical enrollment or redetermination periods. Limited research has explored whether racial, ethnic, and rural disparities in access to Medicaid offices exist. Leveraging a county-level data set of geocoded Medicaid offices merged with American Community Survey data, we examined variation in Medicaid office density. We used a choropleth map to demonstrate variability within and across states and linear probability models to explore the association between demographic characteristics and having at least 1 Medicaid office in the county. Over three-fourths of US counties had an office, but access to such offices varied by race, ethnicity, and rurality. Counties with high Hispanic (≥40%) and rural (>50%) populations were associated with a 14.3 and 18.7 percentage point lower probability of having at least 1 Medicaid office (both
