Universal health coverage in Cambodia: current status and future prospects.
Article in Journal of global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Despite improvements in health indices over the past decades, Cambodia faces significant challenges in achieving universal health coverage (UHC). With an effective UHC score of 58 in 2021 - lower than regional neighbours - the country struggles with disparities in health care access, urban-rural inequalities, and rising non-communicable diseases. The health care system continues to be heavily privatised, with out-of-pocket charges accounting for 55% of overall health expenditures in 2021. Although they have increased financial protection, government programs like the National Social Security Fund and Health Equity Funds are still insufficient. Strengthening public health care, decentralising governance, adopting digital health solutions, and establishing a Public Health Commission are crucial steps toward an equitable and effective UHC by 2035.
