Disability-Related Disparities in Preventive Healthcare Access in South Korea: Insights From National Health Insurance Data.
Article in International journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: To examine disability-related disparities in participation in national health screenings in South Korea and to determine how these gaps vary by disability severity, type, and socio-economic factors. Methods: A trend analysis of screening participation from 2012 to 2020 and multivariable logistic regression for 2019-2020 were conducted using the National Health Insurance Service database, linking eligibility, health screening, and disability registration data. The cohort comprised 10,413,089 adults aged ≥40 years (20% population sample). Annual screening uptake was the outcome; predictors included disability status, severity, type, employment, sex, income, insurance, and region. Results: Screening uptake rose overall between 2012 and 2020 yet remained lower for people with disabilities, particularly those with severe physical, visual, communication, mental, developmental, epilepsy, and internal disabilities. Age-sex standardization and socio-economic adjustment attenuated but did not remove gaps. Employment narrowed disparities, whereas women with disabilities faced wider gaps than men. Conclusion: Despite nationwide gains, disability-related inequities in preventive screening persist, amplified by severe impairment, unemployment, and female gender. Policies should prioritize accessible facilities, targeted outreach, and socio-economic support to ensure equitable screening for people with disabilities.
