Exploring supply and demand imbalance of community-based older adult care: an observational study in Chongqing, China.
Observational study 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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Objective: Using an urban area in southwest China as a case study, this research investigates and analyzes the supply and demand of community-based older adult care services to provide a basis for optimizing the older adult care service system. Methods: A two-stage sampling method was employed to select older participants. Questionnaires, designed based on the Kano model, were administered to participants, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with community senior center managers and services users. The Kano model, Better-Worse index analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process (Kano-BW-AHP) was used for quantitative analysis, while the two-step cluster analysis was employed for user profiles. Qualitative analysis was based on interview data. Results: A total of 259 questionnaires and 16 interview reports were collected. The Kano analysis identified 34 community older adult services, with most categorized as attractive or indifferent attributes, and only emergency assistance was identified as a one-dimensional attribute. The BW analysis revealed 3 must-be, 9 attractive, and 1 one-dimensional service. The top five services, based on the Kano-BW-AHP model, were contact with friends and relatives, emergency assistance, regular medical checkups, older adult canteen and meal delivery, and special policy consultation. A comparison between those who chose community-based older adult care and those who did not showed statistically significant differences in six variables: age, education, employee medical insurance, a regular pension, living status, and services awareness ( Conclusion: The community-based older adult care system shows a structural imbalance between supply and demand, particularly in terms of service quantity, quality, and efficiency. The findings provides a reference for policy formulation and the improvement of community-based older adult care services.
