Research on the selection of OTC drug supply chain sales models: based on medical insurance policy.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has driven a shift toward online medication purchases, prompting major pharmaceutical manufacturers to adopt a dual-channel strategy to enhance competitiveness. This paper examines model selection and pricing challenges for pharmaceutical manufacturers in China's OTC drug supply chain across different dual-channel models. Our findings indicate that: (1) medical insurance policies significantly enhance profits for pharmaceutical manufacturers and offline retailers; (2) an online direct-selling model yields the highest profit for manufacturers; and (3) increased consumer acceptance of online channels does not necessarily boost demand. Numerical analysis verifies these findings.
