Strategic investment patterns of the medical industry in senior health.
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. 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
This study constructs a fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) framework based on seven supply-demand variables in the senior-health sector of Japan and South Korea (2014-2023) and the medical-industry's investment ratio in senior health, to systematically explore the multiple configurational pathways that enhance investment ratios. Four typical pathways were identified: P1 (high Government Fiscal Investment + Enterprise Technology Innovation Index + Older Adult Service Institution Capacity), P2 (Government Fiscal Investment + Social Capital Participation + high Health Insurance Reimbursement Rate + Older Adult Service Institution Capacity), P3 (Government Fiscal Investment + Enterprise Technology Innovation Index + Smart Service Platform Construction) and P4 (Social Capital Participation + Enterprise Technology Innovation Index + Smart Service Platform Construction + Older Adult Service Institution Capacity + high Health Insurance Reimbursement Rate). All paths demonstrate that "fiscal leverage + market incentives + digital empowerment + institutional safeguards" in four-dimensional linkage are pivotal to improving resource-allocation efficiency. Robustness tests confirm the stability of each pathway after threshold adjustments and outlier exclusions, bolstering the external validity of the findings. A Japan-Korea comparison reveals higher coverage in government-led and market-reform pathways in Korea, whereas Japan leads in the intelligent-care and telemedicine pilot pathway. Policy recommendations emphasize context-sensitive, flexible configuration of fiscal, market, technological and institutional elements, with priority support for Smart Service Platform Construction and public-private partnership models to meet differentiated needs under varying fiscal capacities and aging pressures. This study applies the dynamic fsQCA method to the integrated medical-older adult care domain, enriching the theoretical paradigm of strategic investment in the senior-health industry and offering transferable policy-configuration pathways for other aging societies.
