Oesophageal cancer-specific mortality risk and public health insurance: Prospective cohort study from China.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundOesophageal cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates. In China, the disease burden is particularly high, accounting for a substantial proportion of oesophageal cancer cases and related deaths worldwide.
aimTo explore the relationship between the mortality rate of oesophageal cancer patients and insurance type, out-of-pocket ratio, and the joint effects of insurance type and out-of-pocket ratio.
methodsThe
resultsCompared with patients covered by basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents, patients covered by urban employee basic medical insurance for urban workers (UEBMI) had a 23.30% increased risk of oesophageal cancer-specific death [HR = 1.233, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.093-1.391,
conclusionThis study reveals the relationships of the specific mortality rate of patients with oesophageal cancer with the out-of-pocket ratio and medical insurance types as well as their combined effects. This study provides practical suggestions and guidance for the formulation of relevant policies in this area.
