Impact of Public Health Insurance on Out-of-Pocket Health Expenditures of the Near-Poor in Vietnam.
Article in Health services insights, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Out-of-pocket payment is one of the indicators measuring the achievement of Universal Health Coverage. According to the World Health Organization, for countries from the Asia Pacific Region, out-of-pocket payments should not exceed 30%-40% of total health expenditure. This study aimed to identify factors influencing out-of-pocket payment for the near-poor for outpatient healthcare services as well as across health facilities at different levels. The data of 1143 individuals using outpatient care were used for analysis. Healthcare payments were analyzed for those who sought outpatient care in the past 6 months. The Heckman selection model was used to control any bias resulting from self-selection of the insurance scheme. The finding revealed that health insurance reduces average out-of-pocket payments by about 21% (
