Urban-rural disparities in primary health care utilization in Indonesia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Korean journal of family medicine, 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
Background: This study investigates disparities in the utilization of primary health care (PHC) between urban and rural populations in Indonesia, focusing on socioeconomic and demographic determinants. Understanding these patterns is essential for promoting equity under the National Health Insurance (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, JKN) program. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2023 National Socioeconomic Survey, which included 334,887 individuals. Binary logistic regression was used to examine the association between individual characteristics and PHC utilization. Results: Overall utilization rates were similar across urban and rural areas, but significant disparities were observed. Women were more likely to use PHC than men (odds ratio [OR], 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-1.13). The association between higher education and PHC utilization was negative (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.75-0.81), while access to information technology slightly reduced utilization (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.96-0.99). Wealth effects diverged sharply: affluent urban residents were less likely to use PHC (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.81-0.87), whereas wealthier rural residents were more likely to utilize PHC (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.05-1.13). Dual insurance ownership had a strong positive effect in rural areas (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.25-1.94). Conclusion: These findings highlight structural inequalities in PHC utilization. Policy efforts must prioritize enhancing the quality and attractiveness of PHC in urban areas, improving financial protection and infrastructure in rural areas, and addressing the digital divide. Such targeted measures are essential for achieving equitable and inclusive health coverage under JKN.
