Commentary: The Consequences of Private Involvement in Healthcare - The Australian Experience.
Article in Healthcare policy = Politiques de sante, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The Cambie proposition is the American individualistic one: If I can afford to pay for quick access to care, then that should be my right. It denies any concept of universalism, of the common good or that your rights might adversely impact my rights and my healthcare experience. Some private care proponents offer the magical prospect that this quicker access for the wealthy few has no impact on access for the many. It is even sometimes perversely argued that if the wealthy pay for access outside the public health system, that reduces demand for public care, freeing up space for others and, hey presto, magically everyone benefits from the increase in inequality. The Australian experience is that this magic does not work.
