Factors influencing the allocation of China's development assistance for health.
Article in Journal of global health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundChina has been described as a "rogue" donor suspected of using foreign assistance to obtain raw materials, promote exports, and strengthen its business links with aid recipient countries. However, the factors influencing China's development assistance policy have rarely been analysed, particularly those related to its health aid. This study explores the factors that could affect the allocation of China's development assistance for health (DAH) from three key aspects: recipient need, recipient merit, and donor interest.
methodsAnalysis was based on cross-sectional data of China's DAH from 2006 to 2014. This study explores the following characteristics of the 82 recipient countries identified in the data: the association between China's allocation of DAH and recipient need (measured by Gross Domestics Product [GDP] per capita and all-cause Disability-Adjusted Life Years [DALYs]), recipient merit (measured by government effectiveness and human rights violations) and donor interests (measured by China's export, United Nations voting alignment, and recipient natural resources). A stratified analysis was conducted to understand these associations in different development contexts and the factors that influenced each type of DAH.
resultsMultivariate Spearman correlation suggested that the most significant factors influencing China's allocation of DAH were the recipient countries' GDP per capita (
conclusionRecipient need and merit strongly influence China's DAH allocation while donor interests only slightly influence DAH allocation in certain development contexts.
