Bridging the urban-rural divide: digital literacy as a catalyst for enhancing physical exercise participation in China.
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. Cited by 6 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
Background: Rapid societal digitalization is transforming the determinants of health behaviors worldwide. Digital literacy-defined as the ability to effectively access, evaluate, and utilize digital information-appears crucial in promoting physical activity and mitigating health disparities. However, empirical evidence on its influence within the context of China's pronounced urban-rural divide remains limited. Methods: Utilizing data from the 2022 China Family Panel Studies ( Results: Elevated digital literacy demonstrated significant positive correlations with exercise frequency ( Conclusion: Digital literacy critically enables health-promoting behaviors, particularly for rural residents facing structural resource constraints. Enhancing digital competencies may narrow urban-rural gaps in health behaviors and advance health equity. Policymakers should prioritize rural digital infrastructure and digital skills training to fully harness digital empowerment for public health.
