1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 relationship between health and economy is complex and bidirectional, since it shows an inseparable link in which each health-related decision carries significant economic implications, and, at te same time, every economic decision directly or indirectly influences the health of the population, particularly in environments where resources are limited and healthcare costs continue to escalate. In this context, health economic evaluation emerges as a crucial tool that enables a systematic analysis of the costs and benefits associated with various interventions, thereby facilitating informed decision-making. This narrative review focuses on the principles and techniques of economic evaluation, examining their relevance to the planning and management of health systems. The different types of economic evaluation studies and their impact on the efficiency of health interventions are discussed, and the need for a balanced approach that considers both market efficiency and social welfare is emphasized.
