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
Background: The Indonesian government policy regarding obtaining universal coverage through National Health Insurance (NHI) is expected to increase public access to health service facilities, including in disadvantaged areas. This study analysed the role of NHI in hospital utilisation in underprivileged areas of Indonesia. Methods: Data from the 2023 National Socioeconomic Survey were used in this cross-sectional study that included 130,331 participants. Hospital utilisation was the dependent variable and NHI membership was the independent variable. Residence, age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, and wealth status were control factors. A multinomial logistic regression was employed in the final stage for data evaluation. Results: In 2023, the hospital utilisation rate in Indonesia's disadvantaged regions was 1.5% and the percentage of NHI members was 74.5%. People with an NHI membership were 3.01 times more likely to utilise the hospital than those without [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.58-3.50]. Seven control variables related to hospital utilisation were identified, namely, residence type, age, sex, marital status, education level, employment status, and wealth status. Conclusion: This study concluded that NHI membership influenced hospital utilisation in disadvantaged areas of Indonesia. Individuals with NHI membership were three times more likely to visit hospitals.
