Analysing health conditions and economic influence on healthcare infrastructure: A comparative analysis of India, China, Japan, and South Korea.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Asian nations are striving for rapid economic growth, but factors like climate change, pollution, and unhealthy lifestyles are rising alongside, posing serious health risks. Asia, home to diverse cultures and economies, includes top global GDP contributors like China, Japan, India, and South Korea. Despite economic progress, Asia faces high mortality from illness, especially non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Objective: This study aims to analyse health conditions and the impact of economic growth on healthcare systems in these four countries while conducting a comparative analysis of their healthcare outcomes. Material and Methods: Key indicators like hospital bed availability, active physicians, and healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP are examined. The study focuses on NCDs, such as cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory conditions. Results: Economic growth has led to better healthcare access, but NCDs now dominate as the leading causes of death. Healthcare infrastructure improves with GDP growth. Conclusion: Despite economic gains, managing the growing burden of NCDs is essential for improving health outcomes in these Asian nations.
