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
introductionChina has adopted a people-centred integrated care model to reform its severely hospital-centric and fragmented delivery system. As a template of this model in urban China, the Luohu Hospital Group has generated considerable public and academic interest to scale it up.
methodsGuided by a policy triangle framework, this qualitative study explored the context, actors, content, and process of founding the Luohu Hospital Group. Three semi-structured interviews and five focus groups were conducted among 35 key informants. Content analysis was used to analyse the data.
resultsThe reform in Luohu took place in a competitive health care market, based on the comprehensive health reform in Shenzhen. Under the strong leadership of the district government, the reform adopted comprehensive strategies to strengthen primary care and care coordination, improve the quality and efficiency of health care delivery, and promote population health. The reform achieved a high level of organisational integration but was still in the process of fulfilling professional and clinical integration. CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION: The establishment of the Luohu Hospital Group transformed the originally fragmented delivery system into a tightly integrated service delivery networks. Though valuable lessons have been generated, the reform and its impacts require ongoing monitoring.
