Factors influencing health information acquisition behavior from a social capital theory perspective: a study of Zhihu users.
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 3 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 rapid development and widespread use of Internet technology have facilitated access to health information for the general public. However, the behavior of acquiring health information is influenced by multiple factors, resulting in differences and even inequalities. This paper aims to explore the influencing factors of user health information acquisition behavior, find feasible ways to optimize such behavior and maximize the utility of health information for users. By utilizing the Zhihu Q&A platform to obtain user health information and integrating social capital theory, the study identifies the influencing factors of user health information acquisition behavior. It utilizes fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to examine these factors as antecedent variables, with the dissemination heat of health information as the outcome variable. The study reveals that the structure, relationships, and cognitive dimensions of social capital significantly impact user health information acquisition behavior. The configuration path for user health information acquisition behavior generated by the fsQCA 3.0 software provides recommendations to maximize the utility of health information.
