ReviewThe Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia2023
Evolution of Government-funded health insurance for universal health coverage in India.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
India has run multiple Government-Funded Health Insurance schemes (GFHIS) over the past decades to ensure affordable healthcare. We assessed GFHIS evolution with a special focus on two national schemes - Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) and Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY). RSBY suffered from a static financial coverage cap, low enrollment, inequitable service supply, utilization, etc. PMJAY expanded coverage and mitigated some of RSBY's drawbacks. Investigating equity in PMJAY's supply and utilization across geography, sex, age, social groups, and healthcare sectors depicts several systemic skews. Kerala and Himachal Pradesh with low poverty and disease burden use more services. Males are more likely to seek care under PMJAY than females. Mid-age population (19-50 years) is a common group availing services. Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe people have low service utilization. Most hospitals providing services are private. Such inequities can lead the most vulnerable populations further into deprivation due to healthcare inaccessibility.
