A scoping review of national policies for dementia prevention and control in mainland China.
Article in Health research policy and systems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionLimited knowledge has been found on the policies of dementia prevention and control from low- and middle-income (LMIC) countries. This study aims to provide comprehensive evidence of policy progress regarding dementia prevention and control in mainland China by scoping review on the basis of seven priority areas proposed in The Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia 2017-2025.
methodsWe searched the websites of China State Council, National Health Commission, Ministry of Civil Affairs, National Development and Reform Commission, National Healthcare Security Administration and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine for all policies regarding dementia. The keywords included Chi Dai (dementia), A Er Ci Hai Mo (Alzheimer's), Ren Zhi Zhang Ai (cognitive impairment) and Shi Zhi (dementia), and the search covered materials published by 15 April 2023. Policy diffusion analysis, policy reference network analysis and thematic framework analysis were used to analyse the policy contents.
resultsThe number of national policies for dementia prevention and control in mainland China increased significantly during 2015-2022. The National Health Commission was responsible for the most policies, while the State Council was responsible for the most important ones. A total of 50 departments were involved in the development of policies for dementia prevention and control, but the stable collaborative relationship among them needs further strengthened. In terms of WHO dementia global action plan, the topic of "dementia as a public health priority" was strongly emphasized, while the areas of "dementia research and innovation" and "information systems for dementia" were less focussed on.
conclusionsSome policy gaps, including priority arrangement, multisectoral cooperation and policy implementation, must still be addressed in the future to support the interests of people with dementia and their caregivers more effectively.
