"I Can't Afford the Copays, So Guess I'll Die?" Using Discounting Methodology to Quantify How Cost Affects Health-Care Utilization.
Article in Behavior and social issues, 2024. 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
The cost of health care in the United States is roughly twice as much as the average cost in comparable countries. Moreover, the United States also has the highest rate of deaths that could have been prevented by accessing health care. This is likely primarily a result of the privatized health system, which places the cost of care on the patient. Under this system, high costs create a barrier to utilization of health-care services. To better understand how health-care seeking changes as a function of cost, three experiments were conducted using crowd-sourced samples from Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). These experiments were designed to assess the likeli-hood of seeking care based on cost, symptom, severity, and duration of symptom experienced. Effective durations of symptoms experienced when likelihood to see or contact a health-care professional was 50% (
