Evaluating the costs, work patterns and efficiency (CORE) of comprehensive primary healthcare (CPHC) in India (The CPHC CORE study): a top-down micro-costing study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
introductionPrimary healthcare is broadly acknowledged as the cornerstone of any strategy aimed at achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). This study aims to evaluate the costs, work patterns and efficiency of comprehensive primary healthcare (CPHC) in India. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will use a top-down microcosting approach to estimate the economic cost of services delivered at the primary healthcare facilities in India. A multistage stratified random sampling approach will be applied to select the primary healthcare facilities ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by the Institute Ethics Committee of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India vide IEC no: PGI/IEC/2023/EIC000588. The study results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented to the policymakers at the national level. Furthermore, the cost estimates generated by the study will be integrated into the National Health System Cost Database for India, providing information to policymakers and researchers.
