Decomposition and comparative analysis of health inequities between the male and female older adults in China: a national cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThis study aimed to examine the factors influencing self-rated health (SRH) among Chinese older adults by gender differences and provide suggestions and theoretical references to help make policies for older adults' health concerns by government agencies.
methodsChinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in 2018 was adopted, the chi-squared test and the logistic regression analysis were performed to analyse self-rated health reported by Chinese female and male older adults and its influencing factors. In addition, Fairlie decomposition analysis was performed to quantify the contribution level of different influencing factors.
resultsAmong older adults, males (48.0%) reported a significantly higher level of good self-rated health than females (42.3%). Residence, body mass index (BMI), self-reported income, smoking, drinking, exercise, and social activity were the factors that influenced SRH reported by male and female respondents, with age, marital status and education reaching the significance level only in women. The Fairlie decomposition model can explain the underlying reasons for 86.7% of the gender differences in SRH, with self-reported income (15.3%), smoking (32.7%), drinking (42.5%), exercise (17.4%), social activity (15.1%) and education (-14.6%) being the major factors affecting gender differences in SRH.
conclusionsThe study results can help promote the implementation of the Healthy China Initiative, inform intervention measures, and offer new proposals on creating policies for older adults' health issues by the Chinese government to improve health equity.
