Disability-based disparities under universal health coverage among chronically ill adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia: an interrupted time series analysis.
Article in Global health action, 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
backgroundPeople with disabilities (PWD) face persistent barriers to healthcare, often exacerbated during public health emergencies. In Indonesia, 10.8% of adults with disabilities have chronic disease, yet how the National Health Insurance (JKN) addresses disparities remains unclear.
objectiveTo assess the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on disability-based disparities in chronic healthcare utilization under JKN, and whether these were modified by gender or geographic disadvantage.
methodsA panel-based interrupted time series analysis using generalized estimating equations was conducted on the JKN sample dataset (1% of national enrollees). The sample included 108,762 adults aged 19-65 with chronic conditions, with monthly primary care records from September 2019 to August 2020. Outcomes were preventive and curative visits, modeled by disability status, gender, and residence district.
resultsThe sample averaged 48.3 years, 61.2% were women, 15.5% had a disability, and 1.2% lived in underdeveloped districts. Preventive visits declined 25.6% and curative visits 40.5% in the first two months of the pandemic. PWD had higher curative care use (IRR = 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02-1.07), but women with disabilities had fewer curative visits than men with disabilities (IRR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86-0.98). Residence in underdeveloped districts reduced preventive (IRR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.19-0.60) and curative (IRR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.70-0.99) visits.
conclusionsThe pandemic worsened disparities. Gender compounded disability-related inequities in curative use, while geographic disadvantage limited access for all. Future research should examine longer-term trends. Integrating disability- and gender-inclusivetuy approaches is essential for equitable UHC during and beyond crises.
