Decentralizing Pulmonary Screening for China's Aging Population: From Hospitals to Communities.
Article in Aging and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
China's aging population faces a growing burden of chronic respiratory diseases, straining the public health system. Despite the Healthy China 2030 plan's emphasis on prevention and early detection, systemic barriers, such as low public awareness, urban-rural disparities, fragmented screening models, and uneven specialist distribution, hinder effective pulmonary care for older adults. To address these challenges, a shift toward community-based strategies, including mobile low-dose CT (LDCT) screening units, is proposed. These units improve accessibility, especially in rural areas, while AI integration enhances diagnostic accuracy and telemedicine bridges specialist gaps. Strengthening local healthcare capacity through training, policy support, and coordinated care among community health stations, hospitals, and the CDC is critical. Community engagement further boosts participation and follow-up. Success will be measured by early diagnosis rates, reduced disparities, and cost-effectiveness. Aligning with Healthy China 2030, this integrated approach promises equitable, sustainable respiratory care for aging populations.
