What influences the community well-being of Chinese living in metropolitan areas? A scale validation and invariance test across gender, age, and hukou.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRapid socioeconomic development has congregated urban dwellers in various communities, and it remains unclear whether raising income has brought greater happiness or well-being in China. The study aims to validate the Multi-dimensional Community Well-being Scale (MCWS) in the context of Chinese metropolitan areas.
methodsMultistage stratified sampling from North, East, and West China yielded a total of 4786 community-dwelling adults (mean age = 54.66 years; 33.8% female). Exploratory factor analysis identified a four-factor pattern of habitability, accessibility, relation, and satisfaction. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) further verified the structure, and multigroup CFA tested the measurement invariance upon different genders, age groups, and hukou statuses.
resultsAll the subscales and the total scale (α = 0.852) had satisfactory internal consistency. In addition, significant community well-being disparities exist between communities with and without elderly care and child care services. Also, the mean scores of accessibility, relation, and satisfaction grow steadily with age, except for habitability.
conclusionsOverall, this study filled the research gap in China by presenting a reliable and valid instrument to measure community well-being, showing gender, age, and hukou-related characteristics in community well-being and enabling cross-cultural comparisons in urban studies.
