Modeling the impact of environmental and socioeconomic factors on health expenditure in Türkiye.
Article in iScience, 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
Understanding health expenditure (HE) determinants is imperative for sustainable development. This study examines the impact of ecological footprint (EFP), economic growth (GDP), and refugee and asylum-seeker (RAS) population on HE in Türkiye from 1975 to 2023, employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach with structural breaks. Long-run results indicate that GDP and EFP increase HE, with elasticities of 2.09 and 1.88, respectively, whereas RAS (-0.08) and the 2011 structural break (-0.10) reduce it. In the short run, GDP raises HE (2.28). VECM causality reveals that HE drives GDP and EFP, with unidirectional causality from GDP to RAS, while EFP and RAS exhibit bidirectional causality. These findings imply that while economic growth and environmental pressures inflate health costs, refugee influxes suppress them, likely due to international aid and youth demographics of refugees. Ultimately, policymakers should adopt a "health in all policies" framework that integrates environmental and migration strategies by prioritizing green healthcare infrastructure and sustainable urban planning.
