Acceptance of Insurance by Psychiatrists and Other Physicians, 2007-2016.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe authors aimed to analyze psychiatrists' and other physicians' acceptance of insurance and the associations between insurance acceptance and specific physician- and practice-level characteristics.
methodsUsing the restricted version of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, January 2007-December 2016, the authors analyzed acceptance of private insurance, public insurance, and any insurance among psychiatrists compared with nonpsychiatrist physicians. Because data were considered restricted, all analyses were conducted at federal Research Data Center facilities.
resultsThe unweighted sample included an average of 4,725 physicians per 2-year time grouping between 2007 and 2016, with an average of 7% being psychiatrists. Nonpsychiatrists participated in all insurance networks at higher rates than did psychiatrists, and the acceptance gap was wider for public (Medicare and Medicaid) than private (noncapitated and capitated) insurance. Among psychiatrists, those practicing in metropolitan statistical areas and those in solo practices were significantly less likely than their peers in other locations and treatment settings to accept private, public, or any insurance. These findings were also observed among nonpsychiatrists, although to a lesser extent.
conclusionsIn addition to general policy interventions to improve insurance network adequacy for psychiatric care, additional measures or incentives to promote insurance network participation should be considered for psychiatrists in solo practices and those in metropolitan areas.
