Access to Health Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs in Kansas: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Kansas journal of medicine. 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
Introduction: Despite the high prevalence of Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) in the United States, health care services for this population remain insufficient. Prior studies have documented disparities in both access to and quality of care. We aimed to evaluate health care access and barriers among CYSHCN in Kansas. Methods: Using data from the 2021 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH), we conducted a retrospective, quasi-experimental analysis of health care access and barriers among 1,696 Kansas households. Children were classified as having special health care needs based on diagnoses across 24 specified conditions. Results: Although most CYSHCN in Kansas reported adequate access to health care (97.2%), significant barriers persist, particularly among those with lifelong conditions. These children were more likely to report needing care but not receiving it (χ Conclusions: While CYSHCN in Kansas generally reports adequate health care access, important barriers remain. Efforts to improve access to specialty care, reduce costs, and enhance insurance coverage are essential to improving care for this vulnerable population.
