The impacts of public hospital comprehensive reform policies on hospital medicine cost, revenues and healthcare expenditures 2014-2019: An analysis of 103 tertiary public hospitals in China.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To explore the impact of implementation of the comprehensive public hospital reform policy (CPHRP) on medicine costs, revenues and medical expenditures in tertiary public hospitals in China. Methods: The data of this study was collected from local administrations to obtain operational data of healthcare institutions and medicine procurement data for 103 tertiary public hospitals from 2014 to 2019. The propensity matching score method and the difference-in-difference method were used jointly to assess the impact of reform policies on tertiary public hospitals. Results: After the implementation of the policy, drug revenue in the intervention group decreased by ¥ 86.3 million ( Conclusions: The implementation of reform policies has changed the revenue structure of public hospitals; the proportion of drug revenue decreased, while the proportion of service income increased, especially in service income and government subsidies. Meanwhile, the average medicine cost of outpatient, emergency, and inpatient visits per time were all reduced, which played a certain role in reducing the disease burden of patients.
