Impact of Non-Payment of Salaries on Treatment Interruption among Patients with Diabetes.
Article in JMA journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Financial stability during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was crucial for accessing health care services, including treatment for conditions such as diabetes mellitus. Understanding the relationship between non-payment of salaries and treatment interruption is vital. Methods: This cohort study investigated the association between non-payment of salaries and treatment interruption in Japanese patients with diabetes. Data from web-based nationwide surveys conducted between July and October 2020 and from January to March 2021 were used. Results: This study followed up 655 patients with diabetes over time. Of these participants, 15 (2.3%) had recently experienced non-payment for their treatment, whereas 36 (5.5%) had experienced non-payment in the past. Compared with those who received payment for their treatment, the risk ratios (RRs) of treatment interruption were 4.58 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.34-8.97) for those with recent non-payment and 2.00 (95% CI 0.92-4.36) for those with past non-payment. The RRs for the 548 male participants were 3.67 (95% CI 1.58-8.51) and 2.06 (95% CI 0.88-4.86) for recent and past non-payment, respectively. Conclusions: In this longitudinal study of Japanese patients with diabetes, we identified an association between non-payment of salary and treatment interruption. Patients who experienced recent non-payment were more likely to experience interruptions in their scheduled care during the COVID-19 pandemic than those who experienced non-payment in the past.
