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
introductionMedicaid expansion has the potential to increase access to contraception and improve women's health, although existing research examining state-level variation provides mixed evidence. The neighborhood context plays a crucial role in understanding the effects of Medicaid expansion on contraceptive use, as structural inequalities within neighborhoods may shape access to health care and reproductive services. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used a unique restricted dataset of 13,224 female respondents ages 15-44 years interviewed in the 2011-2019 waves of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). We merged these data with indicators of state Medicaid expansion status and respondents' neighborhood context, operationalized as Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) scores. We used quasi-experimental difference-in-differences models to assess if Medicaid expansion impacted provider-dependent contraceptive use and method type differentially by neighborhood-level context. We used multivariable linear probability and multinomial logistic regression models adjusting for individual and community covariates and state/region fixed effects.
resultsLiving in a Medicaid expansion state was associated with significant increases in provider-dependent contraceptive method use among respondents in the most deprived neighborhoods (17.9 percentage points, 95% CI [9.0, 26.9], by 2017-2019). Specifically, long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) use increased 7.6 percentage points (95% CI [0.6-14.7]) and use of no method or barrier/coital methods declined 17.5 percentage points (95% CI [-26.3, -8.7]) among those in the most deprived neighborhoods by 2017-2019.
conclusionsChanges in state-level policies can have major impacts on health systems, but the example of Medicaid expansion underscores the differential impacts on people with less access to health resources, such as those living in structurally disadvantaged neighborhoods. Ultimately, further expansion of Medicaid could facilitate access to the full range of contraceptive methods and advance population health equity in additional U.S. states.
