Private Equity Acquisition Of Substance Use Treatment Centers Increases Probability Of Public Health Insurance Acceptance.
Article in Health affairs (Project Hope), 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
Private equity (PE) firms have actively acquired substance use disorder treatment facilities in the past decade. Evidence on whether these acquisitions affect establishments' operations is limited. Using a novel catalog of treatment facilities acquired by PE firms and a difference-in-differences research design, we identified a relative increase in the probability that establishments accepted public health insurance after PE acquisition. We did not observe a differential change in the probability that the facility offered common forms of medication treatment. Our results suggest that PE acquisitions may increase participation in public insurance programs to expand the revenue sources at acquired facilities without necessarily changing the scope of service lines available.
