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
This paper explores the role of the capitalist state in promoting the commercial and corporate provision of healthcare (CCPH). First, it reviews the breadth of CCPH in contemporary liberal democracies and identifies its strengths and weaknesses for the delivery of public health. It then explores the part that the capitalist state plays in supporting and extending the private provision of healthcare in the era of globalising capitalism. This is achieved through a secondary analysis of data from a recent study of the United Kingdom state's efforts to enhance overseas trade in private healthcare. This paper concludes with a discussion of the privatisation and commodification of healthcare, the role of the liberal democratic state in promoting both public and private healthcare and what this means for health inequalities and social justice, both within developed countries and globally.
