1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Demand for health services is in principle unlimited, in contrast to resources. People covered by public health funds in principle have equal access to treatment according to the highest level of medical evidence available. In order to restrict expenditure the legislator stipulates different instruments. These include reference pricing for generics as well as price capping. The legislator still shies from price fixing which is well established in other states. Instead, office-based physicians are confronted by law with rationing decisions concerning their own services as well as services prescribed where the mentally ill are at special risk of becoming victims of intransparency, as exemplified by the heterogeneity of the prescription of psychotropic drugs. A systematic prioritization approach following internationally available models might open new perspectives.
