Article in Sociology of health & illness, 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
The incursion of the financial sector into contemporary politics, economies and societies has been noted, yet financialisation remains under-explored in the sociological study of healthcare. Using the case of Maharashtra, India, and a qualitative research approach combining policy documents, witness seminars and in-depth interviews, we offer an account of how financialisation has been facilitated and enacted in this sector. We analyse the restructuring of a healthcare system in favour of corporate chains and calculative logics, with concomitant changes including closure and takeover of smaller hospitals and re-modelling of not-for-profit hospitals along corporate lines. We highlight ways in which such financialisation of healthcare, and its sidelining of health needs, has significance for care processes, professional dynamics, access to care and the parameters of regulatory systems.
