Multivariate decomposition of shift toward public facilities for inpatient care in rural India: evidence from National Sample Survey.

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
Introduction: Public facilities in health systems are essential for improving access and ensuring equity. Public facility utilization for inpatient care in rural areas increased between the most recent National Sample Survey (NSS) health rounds of 2014 and 2017-2018. This study conducted a decomposition analysis to identify the underlying causes that contributed to this increase in public facility utilization. Materials and methods: The study used the latest available unit-level data from the 2014 and 2017-2018 NSS Health Survey. The study employed multivariate decomposition analysis based on the existing behavioral model of access to health facilities. Results: The public facility utilization for inpatient care in rural areas increased from 41.6% to 45.3% between 2014 and 2017-2018. The results of the multivariate decomposition analysis indicate that differences in coefficients account for 81% of the increase in the utilization of public health facilities. Within the coefficients, this increase is mainly driven by the increase in the utilization of public facilities among those residing in states with relatively better public health systems (54.3%) and among the richest consumption class (45.4%). Discussion and conclusion: The utilization of public facilities for inpatient care increased between 2014 and 2017-2018 in rural India. This increase in utilization, though, was mostly driven by increased utilization among people residing in states with relatively better public health systems and by those belonging to the richer consumption classes. The study indicates that improved public health systems can play an important role in increasing footfall in public health facilities.
