1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In recent years, Chinese household financial debt has been growing rapidly due to the expansion of mortgage lending. This study aims to examine the impact mechanism of Chinese household financial debt on physical health. Using the 2010-2018 China Household Tracking Survey (CFPS) panel data, we developed fixed effects models to explore the effect of household financial debt on individuals' psychical health, and we also used an instrumental variable to address endogeneity. The findings suggest that there is a negative effect of household financial debt on physical health and these findings still hold after a series of robustness tests. In addition, household financial debt can affect individuals' physical health through mediating variables, such as healthcare behaviors and mental health, and the effects are more significant for those who are middle-aged, married, and with low-income levels. The findings of this paper are important for developing countries to clarify the relationship between household financial debt and population health, and to develop appropriate health intervention policies for highly indebted households.
