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
The Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) payment reform aims to enhance cost efficiency in healthcare delivery but may also induce adaptive physician behavior. This study examines whether the DIP reform leads physicians to shift conventional medical demand toward traditional medicine. Using patient-level data from a Chinese integrative medicine hospital, we analyze changes in conventional and traditional medicine expenditure structures before and after the DIP reform, with heterogeneity analyses across insurance schemes and age groups. Conventional medicine expenditures decreased significantly, while traditional medicine expenditures increased substantially after the reform, indicating physician-induced service substitution from conventional to traditional medicine. These findings suggest that although the DIP reform effectively contains conventional medicine costs, it may unintentionally transfer excessive medical demand to traditional medicine, underscoring the need for integrated regulatory mechanisms across medical treatment systems.
