Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundPeople living with disabilities have the same rights as non-disabled individuals to access financial services. However, in 2023, as many as 75.7% of people living with disabilities in Indonesia still did not own a bank account, even though account ownership is the most fundamental element of financial inclusion. This study aims to analyze the association between financial inclusion on the welfare of people living with disabilities in Indonesia.
methodsThis study employed cross-sectional data from the March 2023 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) to analyze the association between financial inclusion on the welfare of people living with disabilities, focusing on household heads with disabilities as the unit of analysis, representing a weighted sample of 8,726,103 households. Welfare is proxied by the average household expenditure of the household head, which includes both food and non-food components such as health and education spending. The Propensity Score Matching (PSM) technique was applied using a probit-based model via Stata software. The assumptions of common support and standardized bias were verified and satisfied.
resultsUsing three different financial inclusion index cut-off points—≥25%, ≥ 50%, and ≥ 75%—the results revealed that the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) of financial inclusion positively and significantly associated with the welfare level of household heads with disabilities, ranging from 22.83% to 23.43%, 29.47%-29.87%, and 31.23%-33.23%, respectively. These findings indicated that higher levels of financial inclusion among household heads with disabilities were associated with higher levels of welfare attainment.
conclusionThe findings suggest that financial inclusion programs play a crucial role in enhancing the welfare of people living with disabilities, as they have a positive and significant association on improving their well-being.
