A study of the impact of DIP payment reform on coronary heart disease hospitalization costs and equity.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: To control the growth of healthcare costs, the Chinese government introduced a diagnosis-intervention package (DIP)-based health insurance payment reform. This study evaluated the impact of the DIP policy on hospitalization costs, Length of Hospital Stay, and Out-of-Pocket Ratio for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Hospitalization claims data from 2020 to 2023 in City S, central China, were selected and analyzed using interrupted time series (ITS), covering 264 hospitals with January 2022 as the intervention point. Results: After the implementation of DIP, hospitalization costs decreased from 8.81 to 8.57 for employee health insurance (UEBMI) ( Conclusion: The DIP policy was effective in controlling hospitalization costs and days, especially in primary and secondary hospitals. However, the out-of-pocket ratio of URRBMI increased and UEBMI decreased, suggesting differential impact of the policy. It is recommended that policy makers pay attention to differences in health insurance types and hospital grades to optimize the fairness and effectiveness of the policy.
