Fiscal Decentralization, Public Health Expenditure and Public Health-Evidence From China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak and the launch of the "Healthy China 2030" strategy in 2019, public health has become a relevant topic of discussion both within and outside China. The provision of public health services, which is determined by public health expenditure, is critical to the regional public health sector. Fiscal decentralization provides local governments with more financial freedom, which may result in changes to public health spending; thus, fiscal decentralization may influence public health at the regional level. In order to study the effects of fiscal decentralization on local public health expenditure and local public health levels, we applied a two-way fixed effect model as well as threshold regression and intermediate effect models to 2008-2019 panel data from China's 30 mainland provinces as well as from four municipalities and autonomous regions to study the effects of fiscal decentralization on public health. The study found that fiscal decentralization has a positive effect on increasing public health expenditure. Moreover, fiscal decentralization can promote improvements in regional public health by increasing public health expenditure and by improving the availability of regional medical public service resources. In addition, fiscal decentralization has a non-linear effect on public health.
