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

There is a limited understanding of the preferences of rural consumers in India for health insurance schemes. In this article, we investigate the preferences of the rural population for the attributes of a health insurance scheme by implementing a discrete choice experiment (DCE). We identified six attributes through qualitative and quantitative study: enrollment, management, benefit package, coverage, transportation facility, and monthly premium. A D-efficient design of 18 choices has been constructed, each comprising two health insurance choices. We collected the representative sample from 675 household heads of the rural population through personal interviews. The preferences for the attributes and attribute levels were estimated using the multinomial logit (MNL) and random-parameter logit (RPL) models. The analysis shows that all attribute levels significantly affect the choice behavior (P < 0.05). The relative order of preferences for attributes are; enrollment, benefit package, monthly premium, management, coverage, and transportation.
