Analysis of the Operational Efficiency of Basic Medical Insurance for Urban and Rural Residents: Based on a Three-Stage DEA Model.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Following the integration of the urban residents' medical insurance into the new rural cooperative medical insurance in 2016, China has now formed a basic medical insurance system with the urban workers' basic medical insurance system and the rural residents' basic medical insurance system as the main entities. With the development of basic medical insurance, the protection for residents is becoming more and more comprehensive, and its fund expenditure also increases, so it is necessary to research the efficiency of the medical insurance fund expenditure. This paper conducts a three-stage DEA analysis of the efficiency of basic health insurance for urban and rural residents in 31 provinces, based on a Chinese panel data from 2017 to 2020. It is found that China's health insurance operation is still in the development stage, with four regions in the efficiency frontier and Guizhou province having the lowest efficiency value nationwide. The GDP and fiscal investment on social security effectively reduce the input redundancy in the basic health insurance operation, which contributes to the efficiency of the health insurance operation. This study further proposes suggestions and countermeasures to improve the operational efficiency of China's basic health insurance, based on the empirical results: (1) develop the economy and broaden the financing sources; (2) improve the level of health care services and improve the efficiency driven by quality; and (3) improve the level of health insurance supervision through multiple measures.
