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
Background: Promoting coordination between digital village construction and rural healthcare service efficiency is central to advancing rural social progress and implementing the Healthy China strategy, and has drawn growing attention in public administration and health economics. Methods: Using panel data from 29 provinces across China spanning 2015-2022, the study employed the coupling coordination degree model to assess the level of coupling coordination degree (CCD) between digital village construction and the effectiveness of rural healthcare services. The Dagum's Gini coefficient was applied to analyze regional disparities, while kernel density estimation and spatial Markov chain were utilized to examine reveal their spatio-temporal dynamic evolution patterns. Employed quantile regression to analyze the primary factors influencing the CCD. Results: The national coordination level has steadily improved from 0.589 to 0.665, but some provinces have yet to reach the coordination stage. The national Gini coefficient has risen from 0.148 to 0.158, with within-regional disparities continuing to increase, while inter-regional disparities have gradually narrowed. Kernel density analysis showed that the right tail of the eastern region continued to widen, with benchmark provinces emerging within the region, while the central and western regions showed a trend towards evolution of double peak and multi-peak, respectively, with increased differentiation within the region. Spatial Markov chain results indicate that stable synergistic relationships exist between high-level regions or low-level regions; medium-to-high-level regions exhibit a certain degree of siphoning effect on surrounding medium-to-low-level regions. Economic, government support, and health needs are positive factors driving the CCD development, while health human capital and urbanization rate are negative factors. Conclusion: The coordinated development of digital village construction and rural healthcare service efficiency has achieved positive results, but issues such as regional development imbalances, intensified within regional differentiation trends, development lock-in, and resource siphoning still require attention. The CCD is influenced to varying degrees by social, economic, and demographic factors. In the future, efforts should be made in two areas: regional balance and interregional coordination, and strengthening government support to promote the effective allocation of resources and the coordinated advancement of digital healthcare.
