The Promotional Effect of Health Education on the Medical Service Utilization of Migrants: Evidence From China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
There were 376 million migrants in China by 2020, who made significant contributions to urban development. However, they used limited medical services and had lower self-reported health status than inflow city residents. Based on this, this study uses the cross-sectional data of the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS) to construct a multiple linear regression model to empirically study the role of health education in improving medical services utilization for migrants. It finds that compared to migrants without health education, the probability of the medical service utilization for migrants with health education has increased significantly, and counseling is more effective than other methods for health education. This promotion effect of health education has been established after a series of robustness tests. Furthermore, this study finds that the closer the migrants are to medical service resources, the greater the effect of health education on medical services utilization for migrants. The heterogeneity test shows that the effect of health education on medical services utilization for migrants is greater among the non-elderly and those with lower education levels. From the perspective of health education, the findings in this study provide empirical evidence to support the government in formulating policies to improve the utilization of medical services for migrants and reduce health inequality.
