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: Strengthening primary health care for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) under Ayushman Bharat requires information on the cost of delivering the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) services in the Health and Wellness Center (HWC). Therefore, we aimed to determine the total annual and unit cost of delivering NPCDCS services at the public sector's primary level of health care. Methodology: Economic costing of Sub-Health Center (SHC) and Primary Health Center (PHC) upgraded to HWC was conducted from the health system perspective. A bottom-up microcosting methodology was adopted to collect and analyze data on resources utilized for delivering healthcare services. Joint resources were apportioned, and sensitivity analyses were performed on total annual costs. Results: The total annual cost of delivering NPCDCS services was ₹58,662 and ₹1,249,234 at selected SHC and PHC, respectively. Unit cost per NCD beneficiary was ₹438 and ₹661, and unit cost per outpatient attendance was ₹335 and ₹85 at SHC and PHC, respectively. Promotive services accounted for 6% and 40% of the total annual cost at SHC and PHC, respectively. Conclusion: The study findings can be used to efficiently and effectively allocate resources toward NCD care in the HWCs.
