Visits to Health Centers, by Selected Characteristics: United States, 2023.
Article in National health statistics reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: This report presents national estimates of visits to health centers in the United States in 2023. Estimates are presented for selected characteristics and compared by age, sex, and race and ethnicity. Methods: Estimates were calculated from the 2023 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey Health Center Component. Data were collected from federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and health center program look-alikes, which meet federal requirements but do not receive federal funding. Data were weighted to produce nationally representative estimates of visits to health centers in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Results: During 2023, an estimated 119.9 million visits were made to health centers in the United States, an overall rate of 363.2 visits per 1,000 people. The visit rate among females (450.5) was higher than for males (272.4). Visit rates were highest for Hispanic people (767.7) compared with White non-Hispanic (subsequently, White) (167.1), Black non-Hispanic (subsequently, Black) (391.5), and non-Hispanic people of other races (192.4). Differences in visit rates by age were not statistically significant. Diseases accounted for about one-half of health center visits (53.8%), and symptoms and signs accounted for 22.0% of visits. Examinations (12.7%) and screenings (10.2%) were also frequent reasons for health center visits. Endocrine diseases represented the most frequently mentioned disease category at health center visits (24.5%), overall and among adults age 45 and older. For visits by adults ages 18-44, mental health disorders represented the most common disease category (20.3%). Among visits by children and adolescents age 17 and younger, respiratory diseases (14.8%) and mental health disorders (12.9%) were the most common disease categories. Conclusions: Females visited health centers at a higher rate than males. Hispanic and Black people visited health centers at a higher rate than White people. Visit characteristics differed by age.
