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
During the last year of life of the elderly health deteriorates the most, thus becoming the period of time when needs of medical services, personal care requirements and related costs are at highest. Using the Mexican Health and Aging Study, differences by sex in the determinants for out-of-pocket health expenditures during the last year of life of people 50 and over are discussed. Three levels of out-of-pocket expenses disbursement are contemplated: none, medium-low, and high. Controlling by sociodemographic variables, findings suggest that the number of hospital nights is the main determinant of health expenses, even above those related to diseases that are regarded as main causes of death. This fact impacts both out-of-pocket expences and the costs for medical institution. It is another issue in the over-hauling of the public health system.
