Health Center Visits by Adults With Opioid Use Disorder: United States, 2023.
Article in NCHS data brief, 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
Introduction: This report describes the rates and characteristics of health center visits by adults with an opioid use disorder (OUD). Health centers provide primary care to health professional shortage areas. Methods: Data are from the 2023 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) Health Center Component, a nationally representative survey of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which receive federal funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and FQHC look-alikes, which meet HRSA requirements but do not receive HRSA funding. Weighting was conducted to account for sampling probabilities and nonresponse, resulting in nationally representative estimates of health center visits in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Key Findings: The health center visit rate for adults with an OUD was 4.8 visits per 1,000 adults in 2023. Visit rates were highest among adults ages 25-49 (7.7) and lowest among adults ages 18-24 (0.8). An estimated 29.0% of health center visits by adults with an OUD also included a diagnosis of nicotine use disorder. Among health center visits by adults with an OUD, mood disorders and anxiety disorders were the two most frequently observed mental health disorders. An estimated 49.6% of health center visits by adults with an OUD had a documented prescription for buprenorphine.
