Satisfaction with and factors influencing rural residents' government responses to COVID-19 in the post-pandemic era.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
backgroundChina lifted its strict COVID-19 lockdown policies on December 8, 2022, transitioning to a series of milder preventive measures. Understanding the factors influencing rural residents' satisfaction with these policies is crucial for strengthening the government's ability to effectively respond to public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsA cross-sectional survey on government policy satisfaction was conducted from January 28 to 31, 2023, and a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 1,276 rural residents across 27 provinces. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analysis were employed to identify the factors influencing rural residents' satisfaction with the government's pandemic response, with the significance level set at α = 0.05.
resultsA total of 59.87% of the participants reported being satisfied with the government's pandemic response. Logistic regression analysis revealed that migrant workers had lower levels of satisfaction with government pandemic policies (OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.40-0.80). The worse the government's ability to treat COVID-19 patients is, the lower their level of satisfaction (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.38-0.70). Conversely, rural residents who exercised regularly presented higher levels of satisfaction (OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.19-2.01). Satisfaction was positively associated with key control measures, including health screenings (OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.48-3.22), pandemic control teams (OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.51-3.23), and restrictions on gatherings (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.12-2.19). Inadequate health advocacy was negatively correlated with satisfaction (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.44-0.99). Significant regional differences were observed, with residents in eastern China (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.17-2.12) and western China (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.37-2.63) reporting higher levels of satisfaction than those in central China did.
conclusionMore than half of rural residents are satisfied with the government's pandemic response, but significant room for improvement remains. Notably, the lower satisfaction levels among rural residents in central China warrant greater attention. This study identifies various factors influencing satisfaction with government pandemic policies, offering a scientific reference for enhancing responses to public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
