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

Background: The integration policy of urban and rural medical insurance of China is an important policy benefiting the people, aimed at promoting health equity and improving the level of medical security. In the present analysis, we aimed to identify the association between health policy implementation and child health taking China for example. Methods: Data were drawn from the child sample of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) 2012-2018, totaling 11,003 items, and the number of illness times, height-for-age Results: Our study found that urban-rural medical insurance integration has a positive impact on reducing children's illness and improving nutritional status, particularly among middle socioeconomic status and rural children. In provinces that implemented the policy in 2017, the realization of the integration policy decreased the number of times of children getting sick ( Conclusion: It is hoped that this study will provide a policy basis and institutional reference for policy makers to construct and develop the children's health insurance system.
