National Health Insurance Databases in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Article in PharmacoEconomics - open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
backgroundSocial health insurance administrative databases were established in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines in 2014, 2017 and 2012, respectively; however, these databases have been scarcely used for research, if at all. This study explored the feasibility and accessibility of using these databases for scientific research, highlighting challenges and barriers in their use. METHODOLOGY: The databases included in this evaluation comprised the Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) from Indonesia, Vietnam Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) from Vietnam and PhilHealth from the Philippines. These databases were qualitatively assessed based on the data capture, potential linkage to other databases or registries, data access and extraction, privacy and security, and quality and validation procedures.
resultsAll databases contain population-based cohort data on the medical costs of reimbursed medical conditions, identified using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Linkage to other national databases, ensuring protection of patient privacy data, would improve their usability. Duration to database access and data extraction varies from country to country. The main limitations of all databases include the short span of data records, and the unknown degree of internal validity. Both JKN and PhilHealth databases capture bundled claims, inherently excluding information on prescriptions and out-of-pocket expenditure. Due to the recent establishment of the VHIS database, it may not be suitable for studies that intend to explore trends.
conclusionThe JKN, VHIS and PhilHealth databases offer population-based, financial, utilization, and demographic data, which could provide valuable epidemiological and pharmacoeconomic insights if the findings are interpreted within the limitations of each database.
