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
backgroundUnderstanding insurance preferences for mental health services can help provide appropriate service demand and insurance coverage for such services.
objectivesThe present research aimed to investigate the preferences and willingness to pay of the people of Tehran for mental health insurance services using the discrete experiment method.
methodsQuantitative methods were used in this applied research and it was conducted on 420 individuals (210 patients with mental disorders and 210 healthy people) using a discrete choice experiment. The data analysis was performed using the conditional regression model as well.
resultsThe final model in this study included 6 attributes. The findings of the present research showed a statistically significant relationship (P < .001) between the odds ratios (OR) of choosing health insurance at all levels of insurance coverage except the service limit and the amount of insurance premium. Along with the increase in the cost coverage levels, the likelihood of choosing health insurance for the benefits of inpatient services at 70% and 90% levels (P < .001, OR = 1.96 and P < .001, OR = 2.28), outpatient services at 70% and 90% levels (P < .001, OR = 1.53 and P < .001, OR = 1.64), service delivery location (P < .001, OR = 1.54), and the use of online services (P < .001, OR = 0.84) increased significantly.
conclusionsThe findings showed that the people of Tehran had the highest preference and willingness to pay for the coverage of inpatient services. The results of this study can be provided to health managers and policy makers to predict the welfare effects and people's reactions to changes in mental health insurance policies so that they would be able to plan better to provide higher-quality services with the participation of people.
