Health insurance in Myanmar: Knowledge, perceptions, and preferences of Social Security Scheme members and general adult population.
Article in The International journal of health planning and management, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveOur study explores the knowledge, perceptions, willingness to pay, and preferences of potential health insurance beneficiaries about health insurance in Myanmar.
methodsCross-sectional survey data were collected among two samples: the general population and Social Security Scheme (SSS) member. Mann-Whitney U test and independent sample t test were applied to compare the two samples. The data on willingness to pay for health insurance were analyzed using regression analysis.
resultsLow level of knowledge and weak positive perception are found in both samples. More than 90% of the SSS sample and 75% of the general sample are willing to pay health insurance premiums. The largest shares of both samples are willing to pay for monthly premiums between 2000 and 4000 MMK (1.8-3.6 USD). Health status, age, gender, income, and trust are significantly associated with willingness to pay for health insurance among general sample while occupation, civil status, income, and positive perception on prepayment principle are found among SSS sample.
conclusionsThe government of Myanmar should be aware of the preferences of beneficiaries to pay a relatively low level of monthly health insurance premiums without co-payment.
