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
Objectives: This study aims to clarify the financial burden of health on the elderly. Out-of-pocket payment (OOPP) in a major private general hospital in Phnom Penh was considered an indicator of financial burden. Study design: This study is a three-year cross-sectional study. Methods: To investigate the characteristics of patients who visited the Sunrise Japan Hospital (SJH), their data were obtained from the electronic reception database. Results: A total of 119,938 patients who visited SJH from January 2017 to September 2019 were included. The median age (25th, 75th centiles) was 52 years (36, 66) and 38.31% of patients were aged over 60 years. The OOPP median (25th, 75th centiles was 73.78 USD (32, 161.89). The median OOPP was the lowest in the 20s and highest in the 90s. The OOPP of an emergency patient was the highest in the consultation classifications. Conclusions: The need to raise public awareness regarding the financial burden on the elderly is becoming increasingly urgent. It is vital to establish a social system to prevent the medical catastrophes.
