1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesUniversal health coverage is the goal of China's healthcare system reform. However, with the growth of the gig economy, problems such as the failure of non-standard workers to participate in basic medical insurance continue to arise. Consequently, we investigated the factors that influence non-standard workers' medical insurance participation and satisfaction, with the goal of improving their participation.

methodsThis study collected data on insurance participation among non-standard workers through 635 questionnaire surveys. Based on Andersen's model and logistic regression analysis, this study examined the factors influencing their insurance enrollment and analyzed the satisfaction level with medical insurance policies among those who participated.

resultsThe majority of non-standard workers were young healthy men, whose utilization of health services was low. The coverage rate of basic medical insurance for non-standard workers was 38.4%, which is relatively low. Those who were young with a high monthly income, participated in commercial or other medical insurance, and self-rated their health status as good were inclined to opt out of basic medical insurance. Non-standard workers' satisfaction with the basic medical insurance policy was 2.5 points on average. Those who were male, highly educated, floating population members, lacked an understanding of the basic medical insurance policy, and self-rated their health status as poor were more likely to have low satisfaction with the basic medical insurance policy.

conclusionThe insurance participation rate of non-standard workers needs to be improved. To do so, it is necessary to intensify the publicity concerning medical insurance policies; raise the awareness of non-standard workers, especially young healthy non-standard workers, about insurance; and improve the insurance policies of non-standard workers according to their industry particularities.
