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 the past two decades, regional inequality in China's educational development, especially between urban and rural areas, has continued to narrow. An in-depth discussion of this phenomenon and the mechanisms behind it will not only help China build a high-quality educational system, but also draw lessons from Chinese practices to guide the reduction of global educational inequality. The comprehensive evaluation results show that China's rural EDL surpassed urban EDL in 2013; in 2003-2019, the urban/rural EDL increased from 0.29 to 0.22 to 0.50 and 0.54, respectively, and the urban-rural EII decreased from 1.31 to 0.92. Spatially, urban/rural EDL in the eastern and northeastern regions is higher than that in the central and western regions, the urban-rural EII in the eastern and northeastern regions is lower than that in the central and western regions. The CV and Theil index show that regional disparity in national urban/rural EDL has been narrowing, and regional inequality in urban-rural EII has also been declining; the decomposition of the Theil index indicates that these decreases in inequality are mainly from the reduction of the urban/rural educational development gap within the regions. The large-scale population migration driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization, and the adjustment of urban-rural and regional relationship promoted by the transformation of national policies such as regional coordinated development strategy and
