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
Public emergencies have surged worldwide, highlighting the critical role of emergency logistics in disaster relief. This study evaluates the heterogeneity and spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of regional emergency logistics response capacity in China using the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method, Dagum Gini coefficient, kernel density estimation, and Markov chain analysis. The emergency logistics response capacities of 30 provinces and four major economic regions (Eastern, Central, Western, Northeastern) were assessed from 2012 to 2021. Key findings reveal: (1) Provincial emergency logistics response capacities improved significantly nationwide, yet regional imbalances remain pronounced. (2) Regional heterogeneity expanded, driven primarily by inter-regional disparities. (3) Temporal analysis shows steady growth across all economic regions without polarization, with the Eastern region achieving the highest mean capacity and growth rate. (4) Spatial evolution demonstrates continuity, as Markov chain analysis reveals gradual transitions between adjacent capacity levels but limited leapfrog development. Spatial factors exert dual effects: proximity to high-capacity regions facilitates upgrades for moderate-level areas, yet suppresses low capacity regions. These findings emphasize persistent structural gaps in infrastructure, resource allocation, and governance.
