Complex interactions in healthcare expenditure through the years: A panel data analysis using fsQCA in OECD countries with policy implications.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This paper presents a novel longitudinal study examining interactions in healthcare expenditure (HCE). Utilizing fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), the study constructs a consumption-provision-finance model to investigate factors influencing HCE. Data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) database for the years 2010-2022 are analyzed, covering 37 OECD countries (excluding Luxembourg due to insufficient data). By treating each country-year OECD observation as a case, causal recipes are identified and interpreted. The characteristics of the panel data set are examined by assessing the stability of causal patterns over multiple years and exploring the consistency of these patterns within individual countries across various years. The findings of this study offer significant insights for policy management and future research, particularly in relation to the diverse annual relationships observed between factors and HCE in different countries. Additionally, comparisons are drawn between panel fsQCA and cross-sectional fsQCA conducted for specific years.
