Acceptance of healthcare services based on the large language model in China: a national cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundIncreasing public acceptance of medical large language models will be beneficial for further leveraging their potential in reducing medical costs and improving efficiency. The objective of our research is to figure out the acceptance of healthcare services based on large language models in China, and to determine the demographic characteristics and related cognitive factors associated with it.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 31 provinces in mainland China through an online survey using the China network questionnaire platform (Wen Juan Xing). The data was collected from April 21 to May 13, 2025. The report analysis period was from May to August 2025. We initially set the sample size at 3,000 people, and rounded up based on the preliminary calculation results. The proportion of questionnaires distributed in each province was the same as the proportion of the reported population in each province. A total of 3,148 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected. The main outcome was the acceptance of medical large language models. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were performed to explore the associations between individual factors and the acceptance.
resultsAmong 3,148 Chinese residents, 57.9% (95% CI: 56.22-59.66%) were willing to accept healthcare services based on large language models. In the multivariate logistic regression model, acceptance of large language models for healthcare services was significantly associated with being male (aOR = 1.216, 95% CI: 1.028-1.438), high awareness of artificial intelligence (aOR = 2.386, 95% CI: 1.911-2.980), and low concern about fairness (aOR = 2.233, 95% CI: 1.037-4.809) and privacy disclosure (aOR = 3.805, 95% CI: 2.139-6.767).
conclusionIncreasing public exposure to large language models through formal and official channels may help enhance the acceptance of healthcare services based on large language models.
