ArticleCost effectiveness and resource allocation : C/E2026
Does healthcare expenditure matter equally for all mental disorders? An international approach employing dynamic panel data methods.
Article in Cost effectiveness and resource allocation : C/E, 2026. 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
backgroundIn recent years mental health has increased its importance and gained the interest of many researchers around the world. It is now widely understood that the economic circumstances and financial constraints can affect people’s behavior. This paper aims to uncover the differences in the impact of healthcare expenditure and economic circumstance on several mental disorders.
methodsThe methodology employed in this paper is the Arellano-Bond Generalized Method of Moments estimator applied to a dataset of 39 countries from 2005 to 2019 collected from World Data Bank and IHME, Global Burden of Disease.
resultsThe results show that only alcohol use disorders were affected by healthcare expenditure, not being this the case for bipolar, eating, drug use and depressive disorders.
conclusionsThis paper allows to know which mental disorders need more health expenditure in order to improve the situation of patients and, contrarily, which ones need certain policy changes. Indeed, this is the main contribution of this study.
