Technology regulation reconsidered: The effects of certificate of need policies on the quantity and quality of diagnostic imaging.
Article in Journal of health economics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Estimates of the impact of Certificate of Need (CON) laws on medical care have been inconsistent, possibly because not all CON laws apply to all services. Using an original dataset identifying imaging-related CON laws and a regression discontinuity design at state borders, we estimate the effects of CON on the use and quality of diagnostic imaging. Medicare beneficiaries in regulated states are less likely to receive any image and even less likely to receive low-value imaging than beneficiaries in unregulated states. High-value imaging is unaffected. Overall, CON for imaging reduces low-value care and leaves high-value care unchanged.
