1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The South African government is moving toward universal health coverage (UHC) with the passing of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill. Access to quality primary healthcare (PHC) is the cornerstone of UHC principles. The South African governmental health department have begun focusing efforts on improving the efficiency and functionality of this system; that includes the involvement of private healthcare professionals and medical insurance companies. This study sought to explore perceptions of medical insurance company personnel on PHC re-engineering as part of NHI restructuring. A qualitative research design was adopted in this study. Semi-structured interviewed were conducted on 10 participants. Their responses were audio recorded and transcribed utilizing Microsoft Word
