1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the quality of public health insurance and individuals' consumption structure upgrades in China.

methodsThis study was conducted using data from a population of 6430 Chinese individuals aged 18 to 70 y from the 2017 Chinese Social Survey. We used multiple linear regression models and the two-stage least-squares model to explore the impact and heterogeneity of the quality of public health insurance on individuals' consumption structure upgrades. Furthermore, we performed structural equation modelling to clarify the mediation effects of the impact.

resultsThe quality of public health insurance was significantly correlated with individuals' consumption structure upgrades (β = 0.368, SD = 0.084), and the impact of the quality of public health insurance on individuals' hedonic consumption in urban regions was significantly higher than that in rural regions (β = 0.499, SD = 0.218). Furthermore, the quality of public health insurance could promote upgrades to individuals' consumption structure by reducing the burden of medical expenses and stabilizing or increasing individuals' expectations regarding the future economic level.

conclusionThe results indicated that developing countries should implement additional measures to enhance the quality of public health insurance, which would not only help protect the health of individuals but also stimulate individuals' consumption to achieve rapid economic growth.
