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

backgroundPeople's health is an important foundation for national development.

methodsThis study uses data from the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) to empirically test the impact of residents' Internet use and family economic status on self-rated health.

resultsThe empirical research results show that, first, residents' Internet use and family economic status significantly promote their self-rated health. Second, a gender difference exists in how Internet use and family economic status affect residents' self-rated health. Third, after introducing the interaction term between residents' Internet use and family economic status, it is found that family economic status negatively regulates the promotion of Internet use on residents' self-rated health, suggesting a substitution effect between these two factors. Finally, the heterogeneity test finds that the effects of Internet use and family economic status vary by region, registered residence, and age group.

conclusionsThis study suggests that the government can further improve Internet penetration, create a good Internet access environment, strengthen skills training, and enhance Internet content construction. These measures can amplify the positive effects of Internet use and family economic status on residents' self-rated health.
