Impact of national health city campaign on public health in China.
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 7 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
Introduction: Establishing a national health city is an important national policy aimed at optimizing urban environment and improving residents' health. A rigorous evaluation of the policy's impact on China's public health is imperative. Such an evaluation would provide a scientific foundation for the continuous improvement of the policy and enhance the overall health of the population. Methods: Based on the panel data of 84 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2023, this study takes healthy cities as a quasi-natural experiment, and employs a DID model to deeply explore the impact of the National Health City Campaign (NHCC) on public health in China. Results: The research indicates that the policy has led to a decline in mortality rates and has contributed to the enhancement of public health in China to a certain extent. The impact of the NHCC varies across different regions, economic development levels, and population sizes. In addition, this study determined that the NHCC is capable of achieving substantial enhancements in public health levels by promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. The impact of the sewage treatment rate on public health levels is found to be regulatory in nature. Discussion: This study is instrumental in enhancing public health policy, providing a theoretical foundation for the development of a healthy city, and plays a pivotal role in the promotion of the Healthy China Initiative.
