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

objectivesTo analyse the current curative expenditure (CCE) of NCDs in China from 2017 to 2019.

designA cross-sectional study. Medical institutions were collected by multistage stratified random sampling from 2017 to 2019.

settingDalian, China

participants408 institutions and 8 104 233 valid items were included in the study. NCDs patients were selected according to International Classification of Diseases-10. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: CCE for NCDs was measured based on the System of Health Accounts 2011. Influenced factors were analysed by linear regression. All analyses and calculations were performed by STATA V.15.0.

resultsThe CCE of NCDs was ¥14.929 billion in 2017, ¥16.377 billion in 2018 and ¥18.055 billion in 2019, which accounted for more than 65% of total expenditure spent each year. More than 60% came from public financing. The proportion of family health financing continued to decline, reaching 31.16% in 2019. The expenditures were mainly in general hospitals, above 70%. Elderly patients account for the majority. Diseases of the circulatory system, diseases of the digestive system and neoplasms were the main NCDs. Year, age, gender, length of stay, surgery, insurance and institution level affected hospitalisation expenses.

conclusionsNCDs are the main CCE of diseases in China, and their resources are not allocated reasonably. To reduce the CCE of NCDs, the government needs to optimise resource allocation and rationalise institutional flows and functions.
