Impact of Managed Long-Term Services and Supports on Nursing Home Use.

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
backgroundStates have increased their use of managed care organizations to cover long-term services and supports (LTSS) to rebalance use from nursing homes to home and community-based settings. We study the impact of managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) programs on long-stay Medicaid nursing home visits.
methodsWe used the minimum data set (MDS) 3.0 and master beneficiary summary files (MBSF) from 2011 to 2021 to identify 3,685,771 older adults aged 65 and above with long-stay nursing home visits. Using a staggered difference-in-differences (DiD) regression design, we compared individuals in states that implemented MLTSS programs with individuals in states that did not implement MLTSS.
resultsAlthough overall Medicaid nursing home enrollment for older adults decreased from 2011 to 2021, states implementing MLTSS experienced a 5.83% decrease in their share of older adults residing in long-stay nursing homes relative to states that did not implement MLTSS. We observed no significant changes in the share of residents with low care needs due to MLTSS.
conclusionThe findings of this study suggest MLTSS programs can potentially fulfill states' objectives of rebalancing Medicaid LTSS use from nursing homes to home and community-based settings, but further design changes may be necessary to target low-care nursing home residents.
