Malaria morbidity, mortality and associated costs in Indonesia: analysis of the National Health Insurance claim dataset.
Article in BMJ global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionData on morbidity, mortality and cost for malaria-related hospitalisation are important for prioritising resources for malaria control strategies, but these data are often limited. The aim of this study was to understand the current malaria service delivery in Indonesia, including referral rates to hospitals, mortality outcomes and malaria-related costs at hospitals, using data from National Health Insurance claims.
methodsData were gathered from the recent Indonesian National Health Insurance dataset for claims made between 2015 and 2020. Cases were selected for any diagnosis with the international classification of diseases-10th revision codes for malaria-related diseases. Patients' sociodemographic status, repeated presentations to healthcare facilities, referral patterns and costs of treatment for the hospital settings were assessed by malaria species. Costs were reported in 2020 US$.
resultsData were available for 12 970 episodes of malaria, which occurred in 8833 patients.
conclusionsThe National Health Insurance claim data provide detailed costing estimates. Integrating data from the existing malaria information system with the data from the National Health Insurance claims can provide important insights into the healthcare costs associated with the management of malaria that could help optimise national antimalarial policy.
