Cross-national disparities in non-communicable disease: a universal health coverage-based service coverage index perspective, 2000-2021.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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: Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has garnered widespread attention since its inception. However, systematic research on the dynamic inequalities in UHC for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) remains limited. Methods: This study investigates the inequalities in UHC for NCDs from 2000 to 2021, offering evidence and policy recommendations to promote global UHC equality for NCDs. Using multiple cross-national datasets, this study examines UHC inequality for NCDs. A panel fixed-effects model analyzes influencing factors, while the Gini coefficient and other indices measure inequality. The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method identifies sources of inequality differences among countries with varying income levels. Results: During this period, the global Non-Communicable Diseases Service Coverage Index (NCD-SCI) increased from the 50s to the 60s, while the Gini coefficient decreased from 0.115 to 0.095. Government health expenditure as a percentage of GDP significantly positively impacted NCD-SCI ( Conclusion: This study reveals long-term trends in UHC for NCDs amid global economic disparities and proposes measures to enhance UHC levels and promote equality in different regions.
