Association of Tobacco Dependence Treatment Coverage Expansion With Smoking Behaviors Among Medicaid Beneficiaries Living With Substance Use Disorder.

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
introductionMany U.S. states expanded the generosity of Medicaid insurance coverage of tobacco dependence treatment over the last fifteen years, but little is known about how coverage impacts cigarette smoking, especially for individuals with substance use disorder.
methodsData are from the 2009 to 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and include Medicaid beneficiaries 18-64 years old with past year substance use disorder who smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. Outcomes were smoking cessation, nicotine dependence, and number of cigarettes smoked per month. Difference-in-differences models were estimated for smoking behavior by state and year of comprehensive tobacco dependence treatment coverage, estimating multivariable linear probability models, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, co-occurring mental illness, and area-level provider supply. All data were analyzed in 2023 and 2024.
resultsRates of nicotine dependence among individuals with past-year SUD increased slightly between 2009 and 2018 among individuals living in states with comprehensive tobacco dependence treatment coverage (55.6% to 58.6%) and changed little among individuals living in states with no or partial TDT coverage (60.0% to 59.5%). Quit rates increased for individuals with substance use disorder during this time, with no differences by comprehensive tobacco dependence treatment coverage. In adjusted models, no significant association between comprehensive Medicaid tobacco dependence treatment coverage and smoking behaviors was identified (e.g., cessation: β= -0.02, CI=-0.08, 0.04). One-year lagged outcomes and sensitivity analyses accounting for the differential time of initiation of state policies demonstrated similar results.
conclusionsComprehensive tobacco dependence treatment coverage had no differential effect on smoking cessation among ever smokers with or without substance use disorder, and its expansion was not associated with changes in smoking behaviors for Medicaid beneficiaries with substance use disorder. Other multilevel interventions may be needed to impact smoking cessation rates, such as awareness and education campaigns of expanded tobacco dependence treatment coverage benefits, and interventions that reduce social and structural barriers to treatment.
