Factors Influencing Hospitalization Rates and Inpatient Cost of Patients with Tuberculosis in Jiangsu Province, China: An Uncontrolled before and after Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThe China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) introduced an innovative financing model of tuberculosis (TB) care and control with the aim of standardizing TB treatment and reducing the financial burden associated with patients with TB. This is a study of the pilot implementation of new financing mechanism in Zhenjiang, between 2014-2015. We compared TB hospitalization rates and inpatient service costs before and after implementation to examine the factors associated with hospital admissions. Our goal is to provide evidence-based recommendations for improving TB service provision and cost control.
methodsWe reviewed new policy documents on TB financing. We conducted a patient survey to investigate the utilization of inpatient services, and patients' out-of-pocket payment for inpatient care. We extracted total medical expenditures of inpatient services from inpatient records of TB designated hospitals.
findings63.6% (
conclusionThe TB hospital admission rate and total inpatient service cost increased over the study period. The majority of patients with TB, particularly poor patient who used inpatient care, continue to suffer from heavy financial burden.
