1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Cultural dissemination plays a critical role in shaping public health awareness, helping to cultivate an environment where public health concepts are deeply embedded in the minds of citizens. Understanding the interaction between cultural participation and public health efficiency is crucial, especially in urban settings where the dynamics of market policies and cultural engagement converge. Methods: This study uses panel data from 154 prefecture-level cities spanning the years 2007 to 2021 to explore the impact of urban residents' public cultural participation on public health efficiency. A two-way fixed effects model is employed to assess the effects, taking into account the market-policy interaction. The analysis examines the underlying mechanisms, including social capital accumulation, healthy behavior promotion, and service resource coordination. Results: The findings indicate that urban residents' public cultural participation has a significant positive impact on public health efficiency. This effect is primarily driven by increased social capital, improved health behaviors, and better coordination of health service resources. Among the control variables, economic development and population size are found to have a positive influence on health efficiency, whereas industrialization, infrastructure, and urbanization are associated with a significant negative impact. Discussion: The results highlight the importance of public cultural participation in enhancing health efficiency, suggesting that integrating cultural and health policies could be beneficial for urban public health management. The robustness of the findings is confirmed through a sensitivity analysis, which substitutes alternative measures of public cultural participation. Policy recommendations include promoting "culture-health" integrated governance and optimizing public cultural investment to address health challenges arising from urbanization and industrialization. These measures could help mitigate the adverse health impacts associated with rapid urban development.
