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

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to confirm how the income level of the family caregivers for recipients in long-term care (LTC) facilities are related to family caregivers' willingness to pay out-of-pocket payments for better LTC services. Methods: This study used the 2021 survey data on cost sharing in LTC facilities, which surveyed 1,111 family caregivers of recipients. To analyze the effect of the income level of family caregivers on the willingness to pay out-of-pocket payments for better LTC services, a chi-square test, a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, and a logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: We found that 39.0% of respondents were willing to pay out-of-pocket payments if better services were available to recipients. Adjusted for recipient's and family caregivers' variables, characteristics of out-of-pocket payment, and LTC service use, the willingness to pay in the monthly household income level of 5 million won and more was 3.28 times higher than those in the monthly household income level of less than 1 million won (95% confidence level=1.93~5.55, Conclusion: Family caregivers who bear the out-of-pocket payments of LTC facilities are willing to pay more for better LTC services. In addition, the higher the income level of family caregivers, the higher their willingness to pay. A full-scale review of the system reform is needed to prevent out-of-pocket payments from becoming an economic barrier to service users and to contribute to service quality improvement and financial stability.
