Inter- and Intrahospital Price Variation for Common Cardiovascular Admission Diagnoses, Diagnostic Tests, and Therapeutic Procedures.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 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
backgroundThe 2021 Price Transparency Rule was implemented to increase market competition, facilitate price shopping, and reduce prices and health care costs. We sought to measure inter- and intrahospital variation in prices, measure price variation across payer types, and identify hospital characteristics associated with increased commercial prices for 16 common cardiovascular admission diagnoses, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic procedures. METHODS AND
resultsPrices were obtained from Turquoise Health, a platform that aggregates hospital prices from publicly available machine-readable files, for each diagnosis, test, and procedure based on
conclusionsThere is significant price variation for common cardiovascular admission diagnoses, tests, and procedures across and within hospitals as well as across payer types. Increased hospital market concentration is associated with increased commercial prices, so efforts to improve market competition alongside improving transparency compliance are warranted.
