Enrollment patterns among medicaid beneficiaries with sickle cell disease: Multistate findings from the sickle cell data collection program.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMajority of individuals living with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the United States are enrolled in Medicaid. The objective of the study was to determine the patterns of Medicaid enrollment among individuals with SCD.
methodWe determined the enrollment pattern among SCD Medicaid beneficiaries categorizing them in three groups: continuously enrolled, had exit and no return, had gaps in duration of enrollment during 2017-2019, leveraging the data from the Sickle Cell Data Collection Program in four states. We compared characteristics of individuals with gaps and those continuously enrolled using chi square tests.
resultsAmong 5883 children and 9260 adults, 70.5% and 61.8% respectively, were continuously enrolled. Gaps were observed in 12.5% of children and 12.9% of adults. A significantly smaller proportion of adults with gaps as compared to those who had continuous enrollment were disabled (CA:30.6% vs 65.3%; GA:23.7% vs 77.6%; MI:40.1% vs 69.5%; WI:39.8% vs 77.0%). Of all observed gaps, 60% were among adults. Enrollment patterns and gap duration varied by state.
conclusionApproximately 12% of individuals with SCD have gaps in enrollment during our 3-year study period. Individuals with disabilities were more likely to have continuous enrollment. Future work is needed to determine reasons for observed gaps and their impact on SCD health outcomes.
