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 assess the impact of Comprehensive Health Insurance (CHI) coverage on mortality in children under 1 year of age in the Peruvian population from 2010 to 2022. Additionally, the study evaluated how CHI affects infant mortality according to wealth quintiles in the Peruvian population. Methods: A causal inference analysis with observational data was applied, employing propensity score matching. Participants included children under 1 year of age, surveyed through the National Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) from 2010 to 2022. Variables measured included CHI affiliation and death in children under 1 year. Methods such as inverse probability weighting adjusted by regression, Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATET) estimation, and endogeneity test were applied. Results: The study population consisted of 26,319 children under 1 year, with 11,922 not affiliated with CHI and 14,397 affiliated. The ATET analysis as an exogenous treatment of CHI showed a significant reduction in infant mortality in the overall population of children by 12.6% (95% CI: 12.1 to 13.1%), in the poverty subgroup by 15.6% (95% CI: 14.9 to 16.3%), and in the non-poverty subgroup by 6% (95% CI: 5.5 to 6.4%). However, endogeneity was observed in the ATET for the non-poverty subgroup and for the overall population of children. Conclusion: CHI affiliation contributes to reducing mortality in children under 1 year in the population with low economic incomes in Peru. However, this relationship is inconclusive for the general population and for the population with medium and high incomes, highlighting the importance of considering socioeconomic, demographic, and other insurance factors.
