Equity of Social Health Insurance Coverage for Migrants in Thailand: A Concentration Index Analysis.

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
Thailand is attempting to implement an effective health insurance scheme to cover all migrant workers in the country. One of the remarkable policies is the Social Security Scheme (SSS). This study aims to assess the equity of SSS coverage among migrant workers in Thailand, sorted by types of businesses (agriculture, services and industrial sectors) and Gross Provincial Product (GPP) per capita. A secondary data analysis on time series cross-sectional data was employed. The dataset comprised: (1) the number of migrant insurees under the SSS; (2) the volume of migrant insurees in formal and informal sectors; and (3) provincial economic level and provincial population by years from 2015-2018. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's rank correlation, and concentration index analysis on the ratio of SSS insurees to all migrants ranked by GPP per capita and business types from 2015-2018 were performed. Results showed that the ratio of SSS insurees to all migrants increased from 38.5% to 58.9%. Spearman's correlation found a positive relationship between the SSS coverage and GPP per capita and business types in 2018. The statistical significance (
