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

A series of measures to implement national volume-based procurement (NVBP) and follow-on NVBP in China have significantly reduced insulin prices and increased patient affordability. However, NVBP may lead to a higher burden of insulin-related consumables (such as injection pens and needles), which might discourage patients from using insulin in the pooled list and increase the risk of needle reuse. This article emphasizes that it is essential NVBP be implemented for both drugs and consumables, which will contribute to the achievement of universal insulin access.
