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

As populations age, the number of older adults living with rheumatic diseases is rising worldwide, creating urgent challenges for equitable access to effective therapies. This article compares health care financing models to show how coverage rules, pricing policies, and administrative requirements shape access to rheumatology care, with older age often marking critical shifts in benefit design. We highlight opportunities for shared learning across countries and identify common leverage points for policy change. By applying the universal health coverage framework, we move beyond descriptive typologies to offer measurable benchmarks for timely, affordable, and equitable care for older adults globally.
